On the hump of south-east Sweden, just a few hours north from the capital of Stockholm, is the quaint rural village of Grisslehamn. With a population of just over 200, this tranquil locality on the coast of the Sea of Åland is bursting with Nordic charm. Colourful Swedish-style villas hide beneath the leafy boughs of evergreen trees and narrow country lanes meander across the scenic lowlands. Although the port of Grisslehamn is relatively small, it is a popular departure point for passengers wanting to reach the autonomous Finnish island of Eckerö that intersects the Gulf of Bothnia; an extensive stretch of the Baltic Sea that separates the east coast of Sweden from the west coast of Finland. Ferries leave the port from a wide concrete pier on the north bank of a calm sea inlet. The pier is serviced by a check-in booth and is divided into neat lanes that allow vehicles and passengers to board the ships quickly and easily. A bus terminal can also be found on site, from which passengers can travel up through the islands that litter the east coast as far as the small town of Ellan Vändplan on the isle of Singo. A bus runs from the centre of Stockholm to Grisslehamn too. It’s an hour and a half journey that takes passengers across the E18 motorway and up along Route 283 that cuts through swathes of beautiful countryside. Currently only one ferry service operates from the port. An Eckerö Linjen ferry leaves the port at Grisslehamn multiple times per day and sails the short journey east to the town of Eckerö found on the island of the same name.
On the rugged western coast of the Åland Islands, a region of Finland found floating in the middle of the Gulf of Bothnia, is the small municipality of Eckerö. Although the area is under Finnish governance, due to its location nearer to the border of Sweden the majority of locals speak Swedish as their first language. Eckerö is sparsely populated and comprised of a largely untouched landscape that alternates between flat, open farmland and swathes of pine-tree woodland. Found amid this scenic countryside is the main village (also called Eckerö), a community of traditional Scandinavian homes that sit near the west-facing coast of Hus Bay. The port here is located at the end of the Eckerövägen roadway that cuts through the village en-route to the other settlements across the southern edge of the isle, including to Åland Island’s capital of Mariehamn. It’s a relatively small facility featuring a customs office, an indoor waiting area and a compact car-park. Currently only one ferry service leaves from Eckerö a few times per day. An Eckerö Linjen line makes the short trip across the Åland sea to the town of Grisslehamn on the south-eastern coast of Sweden.
