Major city · Finland
Iniö
Go for 1–2 nights in Jun–Aug only: ferries from Houtskär run 13 May–early Sep, and out of season most food and beds are shut.
Iniö is a former municipality of about 240 people in the north-west Archipelago Sea, made of four main islands and over a thousand islets. It is a summer place: a stone church, a pulley museum, quiet gravel roads for bikes, and ferries that mostly stop running in September. Come for one or two nights as a stop on the Archipelago Trail, not as a destination in itself.

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
No public transport on the islands. Walk or cycle the quiet roads; only the Kannvik–Dalen main road is paved, the rest is gravel. Ask your accommodation about renting a bike. A taxi runs on +358 50-566-2832. The Skagen road ferry between Iniölandet and Jumo runs when needed, and small ferries serve Keistiö and Åselholm.
