Far out in the archipelago
Harstena is an island located in the northern part of the Gryt archipelago, off Valdemarsvik in Östergötland, 6 nautical miles from Fyrudden Harbour. If you don’t have your own boat, there are several alternative ways to reach the island. During the summer, tour boats run from the harbours of Fyrudden, Tyrislöt, and Arkösund. You can also take a public ferry from Fyrudden. If these options don’t suit you, taxi boats are available from Tyrislöt, Gryts Brygga, and Fyrudden.
