Summary

The Turku archipelago are one of Finland’s most stunning natural phenomena – 20,000 islands stretching out into the sea from the city of Turku in the country’s south-west. Cycling a circular route around the main islands is made easy, and exciting, by a system of local ferry services, constantly going back and forth acting like bridges. As well as the fun of the ferries, there are also picturesque harbour villages to visit, all set against the backdrop of beautiful, unspoilt and very peaceful countryside. The tour starts and ends in Turku – the formal capital of Finland, and a bustling, attractive market town.

SPECIAL FOR 2011 - In 2011 Turku will be the European Capital of Culture with lots of cultural events, exhibitions, and performances throughout the year, making it a great time to stay here!
