Into the maze

Soon a labyrinth is spreading out in all directions. Large and forested islands in the inner archipelago, followed by lush clusters of islands and islets a bit further out. And then countless tiny skerries bordering on the open sea. It’s completely up to you what route you take.

Into the maze

Your very own private island

By late afternoon, look for that perfect island to make your own for the night. Go for a swim, cook up a storm and just kick back and relax into the night. You have all the time in the world to just enjoy each other and the beautiful spot you’re in.

Saint Anna Highlights

You’ll probably head east first, towards the clusters of forested islands around Styrsö and Lammskär. Continue through the outer archipelago – a vast chain of barren islets and tiny skerries – and reach the famous navigation mark Kupa Klint with stunning views of the archipelago.

Gryt Highlights

If weather conditions are right, you may make it to Harstena before heading back towards the mainland. This idyllic old fishing village is renowned for its historic beauty. Spend a couple of hours strolling around and visit the museum, bakery and restaurant. Nearby is Torrön with its mosaic of islets and shallow waters.
