Turku Touring Bicycle Tour Packages 2010

Relaxation combined with Activity: Cycle Tour in the Archipelago (www.saaristonrengastie.fi)! A bicycle tour is probably the best way to see the southwestern Archipelago of Finland. In summer 2010 Turku Touring will offer three different individual tours:

Archipelago Trail

This is a tour, which leads from Turku through the archipelago town Väståboland along the Archipelago Trail to Kustavi and from there through Velkua, Merimasku and Naantali back to Turku. The longest day ride is about 59 km and the total length of the tour about 220 km.

• The tour package includes:
  • 4 nights in a double room in bed & breakfast accommodation or in a hostel (WC and shower in the corridor); breakfasts. 
  • 1 chargeable ferry trip; a map and an itinerary.
• Price: per person: 205 €, single supplement 80 €.
  (Not included: luggage transfer, rental bike)
• Departures: Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9 June-11Aug (Midsummer excluded).

Short Archipelago Trail

If you want to experience the archipelago but you don´t have time to cycle the whole Archipelago Trail you can shorten your trip by taking the ferry from the centre of Nauvo (Nagu) to Rymättylä (via the Island of Själö).

• The tour package includes:
  • 2 nights in a double room in bed & breakfast accommodation or in a hostel (WC and shower in the corridor); breakfasts. 
  • 1 chargeable ferry trip; a map and an itinerary.
• Price: per person: 110 €, single supplement 45 €.
  (Not included: luggage transfer, rental bike)

In Brändö the road winds from island to island

Discovering the remote Islands

Discovering the remote islands is called the longer tour, which takes you not only to the Turku Archipelago, but also to two Åland islands. You first follow the Archipelago Trail to Korpo and then make on the 3rd day an excursion by a ship to the island Kökar.

Also on the 4th day you visit the territory of Åland, after a voyage from Houtskär to Brändö. At the end of your trip you ride through the northern part of the archipelago back to Turku. The longest legs are about 60 km (on the 1st and 4th day), the total length of the tour without the voyages is about 260 km.

• The tour package includes:
  • 6 nights in a double room (3 x in hotel or inn, with WC and shower in your room, and 3 x in a bed & breakfast accommodation, where WCs and showers are in the corridor); breakfasts; 
  • All voyages en route where there is a charge; a map and an itinerary in English..
• Price: per person: 330 € (ask for single supplement extra)
  (Not included: luggage transfer, rental bike).
• Departures: from Turku on Fridays 18 June -  2, 9, 16, 23, 30 July - and 6 August.

Already the night from Friday to Saturday in a hotel in Turku is included, because the first leg on Saturday is about 60 km (if you need accommodation in Turku after the tour, we help you with pleasure to find the room you prefer).
