About 1.5 hours and one ferry ride from Turku, Nauvo is one of the central islands of inner Saaristo, the archipelago of Finland.
The harbor is the heart of the Nauvo village, lined with wooden piers, guest boats, and seaside restaurants.
The ferry crossing from the mainland every hour makes Nauvo a natural resting spot on the Archipelago Trail a local favorite among cyclists and island hoppers.
Stay the night and experience island life at its most authentic. Nauvo has unique boutique hotels, rental cabins, and cozy harbor-side stays.
Beyond the harbor, winding roads lead to peaceful shores, coastal meadows, and pine forests shaped by the sea breeze.
Take a day trip to the historical island of Seili, or continue deeper into Saaristo—ferries to Korppoo, Houtskari, and further west take you on new adventures.
From Nauvo, the archipelago opens up.
