# Själö (Seili)

[**Edit this place**](https://cycleplanet.org/poi/aad62692-57b1-41cf-b873-d2a9ad8ac67e/edit)

Själö is a tiny island known for its history (used to be a leper hospital and a mental asylum), as well as nature and church. At the moment, the island hosts the Archipelago Research Institute, which is a part of the University of Turku.

You can visit Själö while cycling around the Turku Archipelago, where it is part of the longer route and the route is open 14.5 - 29.8. For some ferries to take you from one island to another, you will need a ticket. Always check the ferries' timetable before departure.

For more information, visit the websites: [**FinFerries**](https://www.finferries.fi/en/ferry-traffic/ferries-and-schedules.html), [**Archipelago Trail**](http://lautta.net/saariston-rengastie.php?device=mobile&lang=en), [**Cycling around the Archipelago**](https://www.visitfinland.com/article/cycling-the-archipelago-trail/#ca29bf7b), [**Själö info**](https://www.visitseili.fi/en/history/), and [**Info page**](https://visitparainen.fi/en/the-archipelago-trail/).
