💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~17.8 hours of daylight in July — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- Long summer daylight supports this three- or four-day gateway. The Pargas–Nagu road ferry is frequent, but vehicles still board by queue, available deck capacity, weather and crew instructions.
- One leg of this day is a ferry crossing. The sailing time is routed, but departures are the operator's — check the timetable before you fix the day.
