Welcome to Föglö – a genuine archipelago municipality in the southern part of Åland
Föglö offers something very special with its many islands and skerries and diversified nature.
In the summertime in Föglö there are many activities and many visitors - both on the main island and in the beautiful surrounding archipelago. Here you can choose to hike along trails of great natural beauty, paddle, fish or just have a good meal. There is something for all the senses and lots to discover - stay longer than just a day or two!
You can travel to Föglö conveniently with one of the inter island ferries or why not by your own boat? You are welcome to stay in one of our fine guest harbours.
Degerby
The idyllic village Degerby with its picturesque wooden houses and old captain villas is well worth a visit. Centrally you will find all necessary services such as a post office, banks and a genuine archipelago grocery shop.
The village also features the Föglö Museum which is housed in the custom's old warehouse, a creative themed museum with different exhibitions every summer. The Föglö Tourist Information, which is open in the summer, is also located in Degerby.
How to reach Föglö
You can travel to Föglö via the village Svinö in Lumparland, some 25 minutes car ride from Mariehamn. MS Knipan will bring you to Föglö in 25 minutes.
If you would rather arrive at Överö on Föglö's northern coast, you can ride a ferry from Långnäs, about half an hour car ride from Mariehamn. This ferry ride is about 40 minutes.
Also the smaller "cross line" ferry from Kumlinge to Långnäs makes port at Överö twice a day.
Choose the "southern line" past Kökar and Sottunga to Föglö/Överö if you are travelling from the Turku archipelago.
