Why Naantali matters
Naantali is a postcard of a Finnish summer: low wooden houses in pastel colours, a marina bustling with boats, ice cream in the harbour and an old convent church by the water. The town grew around a medieval convent and today is a favourite with families because a Moomin-themed island lies just across the bridge. The president's summer residence is also nearby, though not open to casual visitors.
Talking points
- The old town is made of narrow lanes with painted wooden houses.
- A Moomin-themed island lies just across the bridge, open in summer.
- The town is a short bus ride from Turku.
