The archipelago is filled to the brim with fascinating stories dating back generations. Tales about seafarers, fishermen, lighthouse keepers, pilots and the challenges of living year-round on isolated islands exposed to the force of nature.
Listening to these stories you`ll quickly find yourself at a late hour wanting to hear one more story, and then another, and another...
Who said kayaking is a summer thing only? Not here! Oftentimes you get to be the only one out at sea this time of year, which is truly a unique feeling.
Please do note however that kayaking in cold weather conditions are for experienced kayakers only and proper gear is needed.
For those less experienced, finding an untouched area of nature and sitting down by the shoreline with a hot drink gives you a taste of that same unique feeling of being one with nature.
The weather forecast is promising mild winter weather, perfect for a little hike on the shoreline and observing the first signs of winter. After time spent outdoors in the crisp air there`s no better feeling than cozying up in a cabin and putting on the sauna!
The autumn scenery on Iniö, how beautiful are those red and orange colours against the November sky? 🍂🍁 The Church of Sophia Wilhelmina is a tranquil little church that dates back to 1801 and is definitely worth a visit. Did you know that departing from Turku, the quickest way to reach Iniö is actually through Kustavi even though the island is a part of Parainen? Driving there takes just over 2 hours including the ferry, which makes it a great little weekend roadtrip!
