Vistit the National Park in the Archipelago Sea

A stay in Turku or in the archipelago islands will be a perfect location for a further visit in the Archipelago area.

The archipelago is known as the "Archipelago of Turku".

A trip by to the archipelago in the typical yellow ferries makes the journey an attraction in itself. Traveling by car, public transports, ferry, water taxi, kayak or bike - find out about the best way to travel between and on the islands in the archipelago.  The Turku Archipelago can be reached by inter-island ferries and many islands are even accessible by bicycle,

A day trip to the archipelago can be a glorious experience, but a one- two-nights stay - or one week - will make you want even more. Find your cabin, cottage and accommodation here.

The Extensive National Park in the Archipelago Sea

South of Turku and the islands Pargas, Nagu, Korpo and Houtskär begin the extensive national park area.

Flora and fauna in the park is both common and unique. Beautiful wooded meadows, which in particular is from Boskär in the west and on Yxskär in the east, as well as the terminal moraine and ground rocks formed during the Ice Age, is a typical example of the archipelago landscape.
