Kekar Island

Kekar Island is one of the most remote and inhabited islands in the Åland archipelago. It stands out for its picturesque nature and several architectural monuments.

Tourists often visit Kekar for the opportunity to spend time in a comfortable campsite on the Baltic coast, ride along forest trails by bicycle, master the local rocks and even sailing. The island is also recognized as the windiest and hottest (in summer) of all that are included in the archipelago, so such conditions are favorable to mastering this sport.

On the territory of the island of Kekar there is a small port near which there is a hotel. From the pier, other ferries constantly ply, which make excursions to the neighboring islands. One of the boats can be rented at the pier.

Kekar Island is called a paradise in the Finnish archipelago. There is an incredibly calm and relaxing atmosphere, which at the same time encourages romantic exploits.

Since ancient times, the ruins of a Franciscan monastery, which was built in the XV century, a church from the Middle Ages, a settlement of people belonging to the Bronze Age period, and the island museum remain on the island.
