Welcome to Kimitoön!

At the gateway to the Archipelago National Park lies Kimitoön (Kemiönsaari in Finnish), a vast island region of over 3,000 islands and skerries. In the outer archipelago, open sea horizons and rugged coastal landscapes define the experience. On the main island, living villages, local services and a vibrant bilingual culture shape everyday life. Just a two-hour drive from Helsinki and one hour from Turku — yet far from everyday pace.

Here, peaceful coastal scenery meets authentic island communities, where local culture and distinctive experiences bring the region to life. Located within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Kimitoön offers space to slow down, reconnect with nature and discover genuine archipelago life. This is a destination for those who value genuine experiences, peaceful surroundings and sustainable travel.
