Naantali buy snow

We were in the small southern coastal town of Naantali, one of the oldest in Finland. And yes the sun was shining, even though the temperature was well below freezing on the January morning. As we walked around the quaint little town centre, we came upon many 17 th and 18th century wooden buildings, which give Naantali a historic, but distinctly relaxed feel. Out on the frozen Baltic Sea, local people took a breezy walk, parents taught their toddler to ski cross country of course , people skated and a few more cut holes into the ice to dip fishing rods deep beneath the surface to find water and fish. Naantali is a very lovely place in which to while away a few days. We wasted no time ordering our waffles, whose secret recipe was created by their chef. And a thing of beauty was delivered. A very large waffle base was smothered in fresh cream, ice cream, blueberries, strawberries and a dusting of icing sugar. The verdict? A mental note was made, we must return for more some day — they come with a range of toppings and we intend to try them all! Crossing over the bridge from Naantali to the island of Kailo, we arrived at Moomin World. Sarah had some knowledge of the Moomins, I must admit I had never heard of them before my first visit to Finland, but I am clearly in a minority. Based on the books by Finnish novelist Tove Jansson, they are hugely popular across northern Europe and also Asia. If you are familiar with the Moomins you will also appreciate that next door is a yellow house belonging to Hemulen. The Moomin World should have been closed Moomins traditionally sleep in winter but they kindly took a break in their hibernation to greet us. However, if you want to visit head there during the glorious Finnish summer — it opens daily from mid-June to mid-August, or during an eight day period in February. Songs of the Sisters is a beautiful musical and story-telling recital which tells the story of Clara a young woman who became a nun. An hour and a half of music and narrative passed quickly amid the 15 th century splendour of this medieval church. The Naantali church was built for the St Brigittine convent and is the second largest medieval building in Finland, however it no longer serves as a convent. Taking a song with us in our minds, along with a hard-to-describe sense of peace, we left Clara and her story behind for another relaxing stop. Herrankukkaro, is built on an old fishing village, on the shores of the Baltic Sea about 25 minutes drive from Naantali. It has an unusual name and an unusual claim to fame. As we walked down the frozen, snowy path towards the sauna it felt a little like strolling through a timewarp. Old, dark, wooden buildings lined the way, and with the sea to our left and the forest to the right, we were in a natural wonderland. But a true delight lay ahead. We all got changed and stepped out into the sub-zero temperatures for the short walk to the gargantuan smoke sauna. Entering the dark interior the smokiness tinged our skin, swimwear and noses, but was not overpowering. The cavernous room has seen a full house, with parties and corporate events held in there — even bands playing to entertain groups of sauna devotees. But there were just eight of us, so we had plenty of room to stretch out and relax. We retreated instead to the warmth of the Jacuzzi on the deck, swigging back beers and long drinks a popular local mix of gin and grapefruit juice looking out over the frozen landscape as the day turned into a starry-dark night. While in Naantali, we stayed at the Naantali Spa Resort. It is the biggest spa in the country and has saunas, Turkish steam rooms, Jacuzzis, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fitness centre and offers a great range of beauty treatments. We also dined there at one of the wide range of impressive restaurants. Check availability and prices at Naantali Spa Resort.
