Overview:
There are frequent overnight ferry services operating between Finland's capital Helsinki and Aland'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. Aland is well known for its beautiful archipelago and bedrock, worn smooth by the inland ice, with the typical red colour of the Aland 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. Aland'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.
Package price is £995 per person based on availability and sharing a double / twin room.
