Old Harbor

The protected waters are one of the reasons for this village location. Plus I like to look at boats, and you just might get to go fishing.

Three Saints Church

If you've never experienced an Orthodox service, you will be blown away at the emotional impact of the voices raised to God. Othodox churches are filled with treasures of artwork dedicated to God.

 kaloz Says:  People come here for the hunting and fishing. There is a lodge in oldtown, and there was one being built near the airstrip. We flew in and out the same day, so I didn't get prices for the lodges, sorry.

Island Air

Old Harbor is only a 25 minute flight from Kodiak, and the views from a small plane are fantastic. Island Air services this community, but be warned that the airstrip is not paved.
Island Air flies out of the city airport in Kodiak.

The proprieter makes many of the crafts on display, from seal fur pillows to cedar paddles.

What to pay: This stuff is pricey, but it is genuine.

Favorite thing: The postmaster of Old Harbor has been on extended leave and they're not sure if she's coming back.

Fondest memory: Get your application in now Cliffie. That address again is Old Harbor, Ak 99643.
