Description

The Archipelago National Park (ANP) near Turku was established in 1983. These islands offer a very unique cultural mix of Finnish, Russian, and Swedish influences. Finland's islands are also a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Here, in the islands, the sky truly meets the sea, and visitors may feel as though they have reached the very edges of the earth. The air is quiet, and the sea relatively calm. Sailboats glide on crystal clear waters under skies filled with terns and sea geese. Sightseers can rent many types of boats, from sailboats to kayaks and motor boats. This is also an incredible place to see seals and catch fish - very large pike and trout. Around 60,000 people come to the park each year, but it never seems crowded given the size of the area. Solitude is easily found here. The entire coastline of Finland is dotted with these island treasures. The most interesting islands to visit in the park are Jurmo, Noto, Uto, Aspo, and Houtskär.
