Satava island is a part of the district of Turku, the oldest city in Finland.[1] Satava is located between the islands, Hirvensalo and Kakskerta. As with many Finnish islands, Satava hosts many summer residences and Ekvalla beach is a popular tourist destination spot on the island.[2][3] The Turku district also contains neighbouring islands, such as Kulho and Järvistensaari.
The current (as of 2005[update]) population of the Satava island district is 781, and it is increasing at an annual rate of 2.22%. 18.43% of the population are under 15 years old, while 15.75% are over 65. The district's linguistic makeup is 94.49% Finnish, 4.61% Swedish, and 0.90% other.
Satava was annexed to Turku in 1968 as a part of Kakskerta municipality.
