Famous for Finland’s #1 ranked spa hotel, this seaport town is also home to an archipelago, porta-toilet factory tour, and a “Sleepyhead Carnival” - where carnies take sleeping pills to exhilarate ride-goers.

There’s also tons of sea-side shopping, including the Kaup Kaupungin (”Dung Dungeon”), which is world-renowned for its stock of rare caribou droppings. Great for collections.

Come to relax, come to lose your mind, whatever you want, Naantali will give. Unless you’re Norwegian. They won’t let you into the city.

Just desserts. They make some serious gourmet treats in a low-key, swank environment, which is total hotness. We waltzed in right before closing time the other day and they were more than happy to hook us up.

We got the rich, diverse Manjari Mousse and the Just Peachy, and it nearly killed us with pleasure. It wasn’t the clear sugar spear that got me, it was more the lethal cabernet sorbet, mousse, and Laphraoig combination. And Just Peachy nearly revolutionizes fruit as we know it.
Definitely going back soon.
