Löyly
Löyly
If you like and follow all things Finnish, Im sure youve heard of L�yly. Heres how to book a two-hour sauna turn for you and your friends. The phone number is +358 9 6128 6550.
- Hei, t�ss� on ________. - Hi, this is __________.
- Haluaisin varata saunavuoron nelj�lle naiselle / miehelle. - Id like to book a place in the sauna for four women / men.
- Onko teill� tilaa maanantaina kuudesta kahdeksaan? - Do you have any vacancy on Monday from six to eight?
- Hieno juttu! - Great!
- Kiitos ja n�hd��n maanantaina. - Thank you and see you on Monday.
The 2-hour sauna turn costs 19 euros. Unlike in a regular Finnish sauna, everybody must wear a swimsuit, because the idea is that men and woman will be saunaing together. (And if men and women were taking saunas separately and everyone was naked, the cooling terrace would be full of naked Finnish men scaring all the tourist away.) Apparently, you can bring dogs to the terrace.
L�yly will give you pyyhe (a towel) and pefletti (the thing that you sit on so that you wont burn your pakarat.) The showers will have shampoo, but no hoitoaine (conditioner).
