Itinerary

The tour will be done anticlockwise in June and August due to ferry timetables.

The tour starts with a ride through beautiful Turku and onwards into the lush nature of the archipelago. Take a coffee break in the quaint coastal town of Parainen and enjoy views of the giant limestone quarry.

Experience beautiful sea views. Island hopping, four ferry rides and bridges leading from island to island. In June and July daylight is practically endless, so there is no need to hurry. Visit the medieval church of Korppoo, have lunch at a seaside restaurant in Houtskär. Do not miss the sunset from the Mossala-lookout tower.

Enjoy the final views of the archipelago before boarding the ferry to the mainland. The longest stage of the week includes three longer ferry crossings and some climbs. Cycle through tranquil countryside to the beautiful seaside town of Naantali – the summer residence of the Finnish president.

Back into the city. After three days of islands and sea views, it is time for a change of scenery. Today’s stage initially takes you to the beautiful island of Ruissalo and back to Turku. Enjoy the flair in Naantali, before the river Aura accompanies you back to the heart of Turku.  

The final leg of the tour takes you to the surroundings of Turku and in particular to two islands connected to the mainland: Hirvensalo and Kakskerta. Back in Turku, think back and review your holiday.

Tour character

Mostly slightly hilly terrain with gentle hills, sparse forests and rocky shores. Some steeper ascents and descents. Mostly on quiet side streets and cycle paths.

Fast perfekter Schären-Trip
Betreuung durch lokalen Partner war super (Helm, diverse Taschen fürs Rad, Repairset fürs Rad). Die ebikes waren hervorragend. Die Streckenführung war gut, allerdings hätte ich lieber noch einen weiteren Abstecher/Tour über eine Insel gemacht als stationär den Tagestrip am Ende von Tukur aus. Ein Hotel war mir persönlich viel zu gross und viel zu voll (mit Spa Bereich); ich hätte typischere Landesunterkünfte bevorzugt statt große Hotel(ketten), sowas wie das Resort mit den kleinen Hütten.
