Naantali - Finland
Cozy Naantali, immersed in greenery, is one of the oldest cities in Finland ...
The name of the city translates as "valley of mercy". The name is connected with the fact that the city was formed around a church that was once built by the monks of the Order of Saint Brigid.
The colorful nature of Naantali is one of the reasons why the city is considered one of the main tourist centers of the country.
Even the president of Finland himself has chosen this amazing place for his summer residence.
The majestic granite of rocks and boulders, abundantly overgrown with pines and spruces, rugged coastline, islands occupied by reeds, and a huge amount of rosehip, the smell of which has permeated the town through - this is what immediately catches the eye when you first visit Naantali.
sights
The main attraction of Naantali is the magical island of Moumi-Trolls, which attracts tourists from all over the world. This is a completely separate reality, where, in the valleys heated by the harsh northern sun, the characters of Tove Jansson live.
Everything that is somehow mentioned in the books of the great writer is reproduced here to the smallest details. For example, you can walk around the most real Muumi-house, type on a Muumi-papa typewriter or try on a Wizard's hat.
This striking piece of fairy tales will delight not only children, but also their parents. And, of course, this tourist center has not done without a huge number of spa resorts scattered along the rugged coast, health complexes and a large number of museum sites.
Pale green Naantali - an ideal place for a family holiday.
