Turku, on the south-western coast where the Aura river meets the Baltic, is Finland's oldest city and former capital — reached in thirty minutes by FFGR Jets. Turku Castle, founded in the 1280s, and the medieval Cathedral anchor a city that remains the cultural bridge between Finland and Sweden. FFGR Finland coordinates archipelago charters from the harbour into the Turku and Åland archipelagos — the largest by island count in the world — riverside dining aboard the historic boat-restaurants, and Naantali day-loops to the Kultaranta presidential gardens. The city's bishopric, university and the Forum Marinum maritime museum give it a gravitas its modest size belies; the summer river festival fills the embankments with music.
