In Åland island, off the coast of Finland, the summer sun shines more between May and August than in any other place in the Nordic countries. This makes the small island an ideal destination to visit for a sunny vacation on the Nordic seaside.

There are frequent overnight ferry services operating between Finland’s capital Helsinki and Åland’s capital Mariehamn, and once in Mariehamn the whole island is very easy to explore as all sights, golf courses, fishing spots and beaches are within reach. Åland is well known for its beautiful archipelago and bedrock, worn smooth by the inland ice, with the typical red colour of the Åland granite. Another typical feature is the midsummer pole decorated with colourful ornaments. Pole decorations traditionally vary from village to village, and every pole is unique. Åland’s nature offers possibilities for swimming, cycling, paddling, long distance skating and more.  Summer is the season to be active and get most out of the island as during winter it calms down.
