Mariehamn Harbors
A clear view of the 'Town of the Thousand Linden Trees' and its busy western and eastern harbors.
Föglö Archipelago
A dense cluster of islands and traditional fishing villages south of the main flight path.
Archipelago Shipping Lanes
Watch for the massive Baltic cruise ferries weaving through the narrow 'Sottunga' passage.
Airisto Open Water
The largest open water area in the inner archipelago, often filled with sailboats in summer.
Turku City & Cathedral
A grand view of the Aura River and the historical center of Finland's oldest city during the final approach.
Sit here to avoid the direct glare of the sun on morning flights. This side is superior for spotting the iconic white ferries that ply the route between Turku and Stockholm. Look for the distinct bridge connecting Parainen to the mainland just before landing.

Kastelholm Castle
A well-preserved medieval castle in Sund, visible shortly after departing Mariehamn.
Bomarsund Ruins
The remains of a massive Russian fortress destroyed during the Crimean War.
Northern Archipelago
The rugged islands of Vårdö and Kumlinge, characterized by red rapakivi granite.
Naantali & Moomin World
As the plane descends toward Turku, look for the wooden old town of Naantali and the theme park island.
Kultaranta
The granite summer residence of the President of Finland, located on the island of Luonnonmaa.
Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of flight for the historical sites in Åland. If the flight path approaches Turku from the north, this side provides the best view of the Naantali coastline. Afternoon flights offer excellent lighting on the northern island clusters.
