Welcome to the Viking islands!
 The
concept "Viking Islands - the southernmost archipelago in
Finland" stands for the Hitis archipelago, more precisely the area
that used to be the municipality of Hitis. The thousand-square-meter area
- of which 90% is water - consists of 2000 islands. The archipelago of
Hitis has an intriguing history and can rightfully be called the Viking
islands, since in the Viking Age there was a harbor and a trading place,
the only one found in Finland. The Eastern route of the Vikings passed
through there, and according to legend some Vikings also settled there.
The
Viking Islands is a registered trademark that exists for the purpose of
marketing the area both nationally and internationally. One of the first
projects is this website. Information about and links to sights and
tourist services in the Hitis area will be collected and presented here.
The Viking Islands logo can be used by institutions and companies within
the area.
