A glance at the map indicates the complexity of the navigational challenge. The Åland archipelago includes nearly three hundred habitable islands of which about 60–80 are inhabited; the remainder are some 6,200 skerries and rocks. This guide clarifies the general principles covering this self-governing region between Sweden and Finland such as the rules for anchoring off private property (24 hours without permission) and the importance of ferry links. It divides the archipelago into six areas and focusses on 50 harbours.

Text is supplemented by symbols indicating directions of shelter, facilities for children, distances and personal comment as well as basic services available.

This is the first English edition.
