): you'll appreciate its un-
derstated attractions all the more if you've used pedal power to reach them.
Bridges and ferries link many of its 6000 islands, and well-signposted routes take
you off 'main roads' down winding lanes and forestry tracks. Set aside your bicycle
whenever the mood takes you, to pick wild strawberries, wander castle ruins, sun-
bathe on a slab of red granite, visit a medieval church, quench your thirst at a
cider orchard, or climb a lookout tower to gaze at the glittering sea.
