 Finnish Riviera by musti72Leave a Comment

The Archipelago circle route! A road that drives trough the most beautiful archipelago in the world. It begins from Turku and goes trough, towns/cities that are built on islands; Parainen-Pargas, Nauvo-Nagu,Korppoo-Korpo,Houtskari-Houtskär, Iniö, Kustavi-Gustavs and ends in Turku and of course you can travel it the other way too! And where the road ends you´ll go on with a ferry, actually four of them. It´s opened in 1996 by the Southwestern Maritime District and it increases its popularity year by year. This year the ring road traffic will be run daily from 24th of may to 19 th of august. It´ll take about 12-16 hours to drive trough this route, but I recommend that you stay at least one night and see the sunset and sunrise, all the moscitos, maybe take a sauna somewhere, drink maybe couple of beers or ciders and just enjoy the cenery, it´s undiscribable.
Experience the finnish nature at it´s beauty.... Most of the islands that you will see are inhabited also during winter months, and these ferries make it possible to make permanent living on these islands. In winter time it gets really cold and windy, so you have to give some gredit for these people who live here..... Leave a Comment Other Contact: Southwestern Maritime District:

Lapland is something different if you compare it with other world or even southern Finland! In East-Finland there are MANY lakes...Perhaps you know, Finland is the country of thousands of lakes. Leave a Comment

 Winter in Lapland by finlandia
Lapland - Santa's home - is very beautiful: fells (i.e. arctic treeless mountains), the northern lights (Aurora borealis) during winter and the midnight sun (night-less days) during summer. During the summer the sun doesn´t set at all! The midnight sun is visible for 20 nights at the Arctic Circle and much longer in the most northern parts of Finland. Leave a Comment

 Autumn tints / Fall foliage by finlandia
There are four different seasons and an unbelievable wonderful nature in Finland, especially in Lapland (Lappi, Lappland, Laponie, Lapponia): the midnight sun (nightless days during summer, in Nuorgam between May 15th and July 28th), the northern lights (Aurora borealis), beautiful fells (i.e. arctic treeless mountains), 200 000 reindeer etc.
There are 187 888 lakes (60 000 of them are big ones), 179 584 islands and 5 100 rapids in Finland! Saimaa is the biggest lake district of Europe. Leave a Comment

 The skijumping hills of
Lahti by sabsi
Afterwards don't miss the Ski Museum which is right next to the jumps. Try virtual skijumping, cross country skiing and biathlon there. I had such a laugh there!
In winter the Lahti ski games take place here every year. Then you can watch x-country skiing and skijumping here. I hope to be going in March 2005 finally :). Leave a Comment Directions: Lahti is 100 kms north of Helsinki (direct Motorway!). The hill and the museum are at Urheilukeskus (Sports Centre).Other Contact: http://www.lahti.fi

The Aland Islands belong to Finland, but it's self governed state. The island are demilitarized, which means that no armed forces may be stationed there. Leave a Comment Directions: The Aland Islands are located in the middle of Finland and Sweden in the archipelago. There are two ways to travel to - you can catch a flight or travel by ferry (Silja Line or Viking Line).Other Contact: http://www.goaland.net/
