A journey through the archipelago is never dull.
You are surrounded by land, big islands, little islands, cliffs and rocky islets by the dozen - in fact there are far more islands than people! The sea, wind and waves give a special sense of freedom. But the islands are not completely without signs of life and bustle. Some people live here, while others come work here. Others spend their holidays here. Some just pass through the and others return time after time. No one can remain untouched by the magnificent surroundings. This is the boundary between land and sea..... |
 The archipelago is extensive and diverse. It is the largest archipelago in the Baltic, and there really are considerably more islands and roxky islets than people here. The chain of islands and rocky islets extends towards the sea for 100 km south-west of Turku. The landscape varies from large islands and verdant islets to bald rock islets in the outer archipelago. The immense lighthouses of Bengtskär, Isokari and Utö in the outer archipelago serve as a reminder of the presence of man, and guide the voyager back to the city lights. Welcome to the Archipelago! |
