Aland Islands

The Åland Islands or Åland (pronounced "Oh-lahnd") are a group of small islands officially belonging to Finland in the Baltic Sea, consisting a surrounding archipelago. It is autonomous, demilitarised and is the only monolingually Swedish-speaking region in Finland. Åland's original name was in the Proto-Norse language - Ahvaland which means "Land of Water". In Swedish, this first developed into Áland and eventually into Åland, literally "river land"—even though rivers are not a prominent feature of Åland's geography. The Finnish and Estonian names of the island, Ahvenanmaa and Ahvenamaa ("perch land"), are seen to preserve another form of the old name.


Diane and Arnold are always a pleasure to work with.

I do love what I do, but they pass me on that. Not only they are very knowledgable but also they have the exeperience it takes to be amazing travel agents. If they're not here in Tampa helping us to plan a fantastic trip, they're traveling themselves to find the best destination yet.
