Distances from Turku
Parainen 20km
1st ferry 40km
Nauvo 55km (fire department is here)
2nd ferry 66km (there is camping area next to where 2nd ferry leaves)
Korppoo Galtby 73km (ferry to Åland)

You have to options to meet us: come with us biking from Turku or take the ferry from Turku and meet us in there
The group that started biking from Turku should come in Åland Friday evening by ferry. If you don't feel like biking with us you can come to the main island directly 20th of June, taking the Ferry from Turku to Åland. You need to book the ticket in advance, let us know if you need help

So if someone wants to go straight to Åland and rent bike from there, that is possibile. It costs 10€ per day from Camping area Gröna Udden which we are planing that we'll be. Camping cost 5€/person + 5€/tent.

After we all meet in the camping area we can decide what to do and where to go exploring Åland. We can have daily excursion and always come back to sleep in the night in the camping area.

We've called the camping site 'Gröna Udden' in Maarianhamina and made a preliminary booking for us. We'll inform them about the number of people later, maybe at the beginning of June. We might get some group discount when we know the size of the group. It costs about 5 EUR/tent/night + about 5 EUR/person/night. They have 30 bicycles for rent if somebody comes straight from Turku with the boat and wants to rent a bicycle in Åland. It would be good to book those bicycles a few days in advance. There's a form for that on the website. Yeah, the website is http://www.gronaudden.com. The campsite is about 35 km from Långnäs.

 

Just to give you the idea of where we are going and what we are planning to see during this adventure
