Gullkrona

The island was a popular boating destination and guest harbour until it was closed after 2008 due to family reasons. Most of the island has now been acquired by new owners, who try to make the island the popular destination of those times, but also with some more services, such as restaurant and some activities for children. Instead of a family running the guest harbour beside their main livelihood there is now paid staff.

Most visitors come with their own yacht, but there are also ferry connections from the main islands of Nagu and from Turku.
There are connections from Kirjais Österby most days, twice some days, from Pärnäs in western Nagu thrice weekly (only the transversal route), from Turku twice weekly in season. Kirjais Österby is 12 km from the Archipelago Road and 20 min from Gullkrona, while Nagu Pärnäs is on the Archipelago Road, but four hours from Gullkrona. The ferry connections from Nagu are a free service, but the call has mostly to be ordered before 16:00 the preceding day. Timetables for the transversal route (summer 2019) and the Nagu southern route (summer 2019) available online. In season there is also a commercial twice-weekly ferry connection from Turku via Själö in Nagu (€40/30, W,Sa 9:30→13:00, back 14:45→18:15).

• There are several island farther out in the archipelago: Stenskär, Grötö, Brännskär, Kopparholm, Träskholm, Björkö, Trunsö/Gloskär, Sandholm, Lökholm and Borstö are reachable by the Nagu southern route. Some of these have accommodation possibilities, some can be visited while waiting for the ferry to return.
