hartti Says: The President of Finland has summer cottage here among others. The place is called Kultaranta, and there is a castle with large garden. You may visit the garden at summer time.
Laura_Mexico Says: They have this nice church at Naantali which I suppose you can visit but which was obviously closed by the time we arrived there.... this is a view of that church from a little tower there is by the shore where you can climb to have a view of the coastal area from above.In...
hartti Says: In this small town exists the home of famous Moomins. It is situated on an island, and you may visit there even in the winter time, although the Moomins are resting in winter sleep that time. The Moomin season is in summer, from June to August.
yashiko Says: Moomintroll was created long ago by the artist Tove Jansson. The Moomin stories soon became immensely popular, and Tove wrote another book about them...and then another...and then some cartoons and more books. In time, the adventures of the Moomins came to occupy not only...
Sjalen Says: Moomin World is what most people who go to Naantali in summer have come to see. Yet despite all families on the small Moomin island, it is surprisingly calm. It all has to do with being on an archipelago island in the north and the feeling that Moomins create around them...

Gili_S Says: While all the other places I wrote about here were nice or OK, this one is a terrible one, it looks to me more like jail food or so, the coffee was *** and I was surprise to seee few customers here, maybe because it was a bit cheaper then others, but still not worth a penny,...
Gili_S Says: This Merisali is another place by the sea, this one has also large terrace and offer typical Finnish food as well as just a basic coffee items.
Gili_S Says: This is another of the few cafe's and restaurants here by the sea. Large terrace, drinks and some typical Finnish food available here.
Kaivohuone: Restaurants and cafe by the sea
Gili_S Says: There are plenty of restaurants and cafe's by the beach area. Well, not exactly at the beach, but by the sea where all the boats are. This Kaivohuone is one of the largest one with a large terrace in the summer.
Gili_S Says: As this town is by the sea it is very popular to have a boat here, either you have one or either you know someone who has one ;-)
Gili_S Says: I guess that to get to Naantali is easy from Turku by bus, but as I drove there with my car, I am not sure exactly what kind or arrangement there is. Anyhow, it was only about 10 minutes drive from Turku.
Wanha Naantali Kauppa: All kinds of pecularities
nomadig Says: Wanha Naantali Kauppa sells stuff dating back from a few decades. Everybody that is more than 30 can have nostalgic moments with the items on sale. Note that the items are new, replicas or old inventory, so this is not a second-hand store.The store is open during summer and...
Wooden art by Tero Pelto - Uotila: Wooden art by Tero Pelto - Uotila
Gili_S Says: The main reason why I like this shop very much is because of this item. A vase made of several wooden pieces attached together with technique that I cannot really explain it here. It was my pleasure to meet in the store the designer of this Mr. Tero Pelto - Uotila
Helpfulness
At the Midsummer Night people gather on the hill nearby center around the fire. From the hill they may look at other fires, e.g. before the presidential cottage. (A lesson: The imperative sentence "Collect the fire woods!" is denoted in Finnish language "Kokko kokko kokko!") Note that the photo has been taken at the midnight!

I do not know any real danger in this place, just avoid this restaurant, it was the worst I have seen in Finland for a long time.

Gili_S Says: Not sure how much really this stories and creatures are famous in your country. But here is it classic and kids from all over Finland want to visit this place. be sure you take your kids with you. Link
Gili_S Says: You surely miss nothing if you do not visit the local museum. I guess that if you are really unlucky with the weather, on a cold rainy day, that might be the only choice.

Palace would be more appropriate...
Kultaranta, or Gullranda in Swedish, is the name of the official summer residence of Finland's presidents. The house was built for a local tradesman in 1916 and also includes a nice garden. You can visit it all year round on guided tours but enquire at the tourist office for times. It's otherwise best seen from a boat, or at a distance from the Moomin World. Then you can also see if the president is in residence (if the flag is up).

Laura_Mexico Says: I took this picture because this graveyard is quite different from the ones I saw in other European cities and the ones we have in Mexico.... the tombstones here are quite short, they all look rather the same, are made from the same material apparently, and have plants and...
Gili_S Says: Naantali is located on the west coast of Finland not far from the city of Turku. It is mostly known as a local holiday destination with a famous spa and sandy beach.www.naantali.fi

Naantali – a town with an old spa tradition
15 km away from Turku, this little harbour is a smart holiday place, very busy with tourists during the summer. . . Naantali spa opened in 1863 and by the end of the century, was a highly prized...
If Turku dissappointed me during this trip, Naantali made up for it. Positively oozing charm, not by the bus station, but by its Old Town by the waterfront. Famous for being the home of the Moomins......
During my visit to Turku my friends brought me to this lovely tiny town only 10-15 minutes away from the city by car -- in fact it is considered more or less like a suburb of Turku, by the seaside,......
Naantali is a town grounded around old nunnery, it's church is still preserved. Later it has developed famous spa town on the seaside.
