Jurmo
Go for 2 nights if you want the eastern sights: the summer day-trip pattern gives only about 2.5 h ashore, and on other days the ferry calls late and leaves early. Check the current timetable.
Jurmo is an outer-archipelago island in the Archipelago Sea, reached by a free ferry from Pärnäs in Nagu, a flat treeless heath of heather and juniper with cobble beaches, a bird station and stone circles nobody can explain. It is small: 6 km end to end, harbour to chapel 1.4 km. Come for walking, birds and quiet, not for services.

Rules in force · 7Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Nordic countries ↗Decide light or dark before anything else: summer trips (June–August) and aurora trips (September–March in the Arctic) need different countries, clothes and bases.
- Nordic countries ↗Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroes sell stronger alcohol only in state shops with short hours; buy before evening and before Sundays and holidays.
- Finland ↗Finland is in the EU and the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border.
- Finland ↗The land border with Russia is closed to travellers; do not plan a route across it.
- Finland ↗Everyman's rights let you walk, camp for a night and pick berries on most land, but not near homes, and not to make fires without permission.

Getting around
Walk. The island is 6 km end to end and the harbour-to-chapel leg is 1.4 km; the nearest munkring is 700 m beyond the chapel. A bike helps if you want the eastern sights inside a short shore stop. Ask locally about ATV luggage transfer if you are staying in the village. Stay on trails to limit erosion.

Watch out
Safety
- The western part of the island is off limits 1 Apr–31 Jul for bird nesting; reserve rules may forbid leaving trails.
- No drinking water after the harbour; sea water is undrinkable even this far out.
- Ticks are present: check for bites, Borreliosis and TBE are both risks.
- Almost no shade or wind shelter; sunburn and hot tents are the real summer hazards.
- Close every gate you open; cows graze in the east and alpacas roam the village.
- The free ferry calls late and leaves early outside the summer day-trip pattern: confirm times before booking anything.
