Archipelago Trail is a four day circular self guided cycle tour which follows the Archipelago Ring Road, one of the most popular cycling routes in Finland. You will ride through stunning archipelago sceneries. The islands are connected by numerous bridges and ferries. The peace and tranquility, particularly in the rugged outer islands, is a unique experience. Most of the roads surfaces are paved. The profile varies from fairly flat to rolling hills, espesially the first day but altogether rather easy.

Day 1.
Individual arrival to B&B Västergård on the island of Nagu (Nauvo in Finnish).  You can access Nagu from Helsinki by train or bus to Turku, travel time 2 hours and further to Nagu by bus, travel time 1,5 hours. Alternatively you can drive with a car from Helsinki in 3 hours.

Day 2. Nagu – Merimasku, 40 km
After a good nights sleep and breakfast you will start your tour by cycling to Nagu village and catch the ferry at midday to Rymättylä.  The ferry ride is one and a half hour including a short stop over at the island Själö. Soon after the ferry you can stop and climb to the WW2 air surveillance tower for a view over the islands.

Day 3.  Merimasku – Iniö, 45 km
Todays cycling takes you via Velkua and Kustavi  to the remote island of Iniö. The first part covers some rolling hills but you are in no hurry to your first ferry of today which departures in the afternoon, only once per day. From here you have about 25 km over some bridges with magnificent views to the next ferry. If you have time enjoy dinner at Laura Peterzens studio by the sea side. Your accommodation is at a beautiful and eco-friendly B&B. Fine possibilities to swim in the sea or why not enjoy a sauna bath.

Day 4. Iniö – Korpo, 35 km
Shortly after your start in the morning you will pass a marked nature trail with breathtaking views worthwhile visiting. After a ferrry ride with m/s Antonia you will be cycling through Houtskär island and over to Korpo island. In Houtskär you may visit the small village with a boat museum and the wooden church. A visit to Korpo village with a grey stone church, restaurants and local museum adds a little extra cycling.

Day 5. Korpo – Nagu, 30 km
After breakfast you will take the short ferry back to island of Nagu and follow the winding road to Nagu village. In many ways the centre of Turku Archipelago with a lively marina. For the last night accommodation and dinner we will welcome you back at B&B Västergård. Being in Finland you can, of course ask for the possibilitie for a sauna bath even every evening.
