KIMITO ISLAND & ARCHIPELAGO NATIONAL PARK
02
Kimito is the jumping-off point for the Archipelago National Park, a scattering of islands
that stretches south of Korpo.
Kasnäs, the harbour on the southern extreme of Kimito island, is the best place from
which to explore the park. It's worth breaking your journey at central Kimito village and
Dragsfjärd, a quiet, rural settlement in the island's southwest.
