Naantali is a little city in south-western Finland, about 15 km near Turku. It is one of the oldest city of Finland, founded around the medieval convent church that still dominates the skyline.It is a very popular destination for holidays : you can visit the Moomin World theme park on the island of Kailo, which is very popular in Finland.
The city is lovely, with it’s traditional wooden houses, it’s big harbor full of beautiful yachts (the Turku’s archipelago is very close), it’s old church, and there’s even the official summer residence of the President of Finland. You can do shopping in the handicraft shops, or rest at a restaurant with a view on the harbor.
One says in Finland : to shine like Naantali’s sun ! That’s true ! When it’s raining in the center of the country, sun shines on the coast of Naantali. To make a comparison with France, one can say that Naantali is a kind of Finnish Saint-Tropez !
