Naantali harbour and S/S Ukkopekka steam boat

Naantali is a small city near Turku in Finland. Naantali is one of the oldest cities in Finland. It has nice "old town" consisting of old wooden houses. Naantali harbour used to be a popular boat harbour but it has lost its popularity since sail boats with high mast cannot enter the city due to new bridges. In this video you can see old wooden sail boats (with low mast) which just happen to be in Naantali when I made a stop at Naantali. They have had some kind of sailing competition. S/S is entering the harbour. Ukkopekka is making daily cruises (summertime) from Turku to Naantali. Journey takes less than 2 hours. Naantali can be reached by bus from Turku.
