The archipelago through which ships sail as they sail in to Stockholm was described as being "like nothing else" due to the thousands of rocks and tiny islands which have to be navigated on the entry to the port. Captain Espen Been says that homes look like doll’s houses as you sail past. With nearly 30,000 islands, islets and rocks - from Arholma in the north to Landsort in the south - rugged nature blends with wooded islands, rocky cliffs and sandy beaches in the second largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea.
