Route options
The primary route follows the quiet Viherlahdentie road.
Alternatively, you can choose the route via Kustavintie to Ruoni and continue along Iniöntie to Heponiemi. This route also follows the famous Archipelago Trail, and along the way you can visit popular attractions such as Kustavi Ceramics Workshop.
Tips for places slightly off the route:
At Laukkari beach there are changing cabins, an outdoor toilet, a rocky beach, a pier, and a lean-to shelter with a grill that is available for public use.
Kustavin Savipaja Oy is a family business – a ceramics workshop located in the archipelago that has produced all of its products entirely by hand since 1975.
During June–August the area transforms into an idyllic craft village. In addition to the ceramics workshop and factory shop, you will also find Paratiisipaja’s large candle and interior design store, a blacksmith’s workshop, a silversmith’s workshop, a glass studio, and a café.
In the area you can leisurely stroll around and watch the craftsmanship in the different workshops. For the enjoyment of families with children, there are also farm animals, a pedal car track, and a playground in the yard.
