Seili is situated ca 50 km south-west of Turku. Because Seili is an island it is accessible only by boat or ferry.

On Sunday the 25th the SCAPE-transportation leaves from Seili at 2 pm (14.00) and arrives to Turku bus station around 4 pm (16.00).

The second best option
If you can’t make to our special SCAPE-transportation on Friday, the second best option is to arrive to Nauvo by bus (or car) and to Seili by ferry. The bus from Turku to Nauvo leaves from bus station at 15.30 (Nauvo at 16.55) or 16.30 (Nauvo at 17.55). The bus is green and white with text "Skärgårdsvägen / Saaristotie". The ferry from Nauvo to Seili is leaving at 18.15. Please inform us if you are going to use this option: we have to inform the personnel of ferry that somebody is going to travel to Seili.
Arriving to Nauvo by car
The Nauvo harbour can be reached via Saaristotie (road nr 180), which forks from the Turku-Helsinki motorway in Kaarina. The distance from Kaarina to Nauvo is about 40 km. The Parainen-Nauvo ferry crossing is along the route; the ferry operates according to a timetable (about four times per hour in the summer season). The ferry timetables can be found on the Ferryportal webpage.
