Turku & the South Coast
Castles & Churches
This region holds the lion's share of Finland's historic buildings. Turku's castle and
cathedral, old ironworks, Porvoo's wooden warehouses, Hanko's posh tsarist villas, and
various fortresses and churches make this prime territory to explore the past.
Archipelago Exploration
Zoom in on a map and prepare to be astounded by the quantity of small islands speckling
Finland's Baltic coastline. Some you can explore by bike, others will need boat hire.
Sandy Stretches
The sea might be a little chilly but there's plenty of sand and sun. The area around Hanko
has many choices, but you can find decent strands right across the region.
