The fees vary with the length of the tour. Aland's crafts are high-quality. Look for pottery, glass, wool, handmade rugs, wood carvings and containers. There are a number of good stores in Mariehamn, as well as intriguing shops in the countryside. The owners spin their own yarn and sell it in balls and kits.
Finished sweaters are also available.
There are open-air markets throughout the islands. Mariehamn's market opens at 6 p.m. on Monday and Thursday evenings at the Eastern Harbor. The tourist office has information on other markets. You'll find crafts, fish, fruits, vegetables and the delicious Aland black bread. Request the publication Aland Islands '97.
