Finland has the world’s largest archipelago, consisting of over 80,000 islands off the coastline – we picked the 10 you can’t miss.
Seagulls flying over old boathouses, fishermen’s nets hanging on the walls, lively summer events and honest people living in harmony with nature: these are what you’ll find on the islands by Finland’s coastline, many of which are easy to access by car, bike or cruise boat. On the islands, you can enjoy a mix of peace and quiet alongside extraordinary culinary experiences and culture events.
These are the ten islands to visit – all just a ferry ride or bridge away from the mainland.
