Möja

This little island is home to about 300 people, and is believe it or not seen as "highly populated". Saying the archipelago is "easy going" is an understatement, but also one of the biggest perks of hanging out there. It's a historical place where the small towns still smell of salty sea air and old buckeneering captain's rum. If you're lucky you might spot a parrot and some old guy with a peg leg screeching YAARGH! at the appalled people passing by.

Möja is also one of the biggest islands in the archipelago which means it's a popular place to drop anchor for the sailing crowd.

It's an excellent place for hiking/walking/biking around, but not really a place to go swimming since the shore is a weird one and relatively inaccessible. Bikes can be rented on the island, no problem (numbers a little further down).
