The ferries arrive in the western harbor of Mariehamn, where you will also receive your rental bikes. A short walk from the terminals, the tall ship Pommern is moored, next to the Åland Maritime Museum. This four-masted steel-hulled ship has been preserved from the beginning of the 20th century before the Ålandic sea trade modernized to combustion engines. If you want to start biking straight away you can save the sights in Mariehamn for the last day of the tour instead.

BIKING TO FÖGLÖ
You will head north through Mariehamn until you arrive in a large roundabout, where you turn right and continue 30km east across the "main" island until you reach the harbor of Svinö. On your way, you will pass the Lemström canal, built by the Russians. The bridge opens once an hour to let sailing boats pass. If you arrive during the bridge opening you can eat ice cream while you watch the boats sail past in the channel.
From Svinö the ferry M/S Skarven takes you and your bikes to Degerby in Föglö. The ferry departs 9-12 times daily and takes about 25 minutes between ports. There is a café on board.
The ferry ticket is valid for all continuing ferries, please keep it during your whole tour.
