White Guard memorial on Pensar The hillforth island of Bornholm in Hangslax Connections The main islands and the islands closest to them can be reached by car thanks to roads, bridges and smaller ferries. Cost-free connection boats go to the small islands further off the main islands. The main ports of the connection boats are the centre of Nagu, the harbour at the eastern sided of the island of Kirjais and the harbour at Pärnäs in the western part of the main island of Storlandet. The centre of Nagu, Kyrkbacken, is a hub when it comes to transport and travelling in the archipelago. The Archipelago Road, the main road connecting the Turku area with Pargas and the rest of the islands in this part of the archipelago crosses the main islands and the centre of Nagu on its way to Korpo and Houtskär and from Korpo onwards to the Åland islands. Apart from stretching over a large number of bridges the Archipelago Road includes several ferry passages. To get to Nagu from Turku you need to cross one ferry, taking you from the islands of Pargas to the Nagu main islands. The ferry ride is free of charge and it takes approximately 8 min to cross. The Pargas–Nagu ferry crosses 2–4 times per hour in each direction during the day and around once an hour during the night. There are several daily coach connections by the Archipelago Bus between Turku and Nagu. The Archipelago Bus operates year-round. The Archipelago Trails During the summer season two scenic tourist routes that can be travelled by car, bus, motorcycle or bike open in the region. Both of these so-called trails connect Turku with the archipelago area and both of them go through the centre of Nagu. Each trail includes one ferry passage that is not free of charge. The Archipelago Trail covers a big part of the Turku area archipelago, while the Small Archipelago Trail makes a short cut over the island of Själö in Nagu. Besides the centre of Nagu itself, the beautiful small island of Själö, with its tragic and touching history as a disclosed island for lepers and the mentally ill, has grown into the main touristic site of Nagu. The ferry from the central harbour of Nagu to Själö takes 20 minutes. St Olav Waterway Nagu is situated by the St Olav Waterway route, a part of the Scandinavian
