Neristan and the old harbour

Walk the grid of wooden houses in Neristan, the old town’s seafarers’ quarter, where painted façades and narrow lanes recall a prosperous trading port. Follow the Sunti waterway past old boathouses toward the harbour; the town’s maritime story is best read in this compact waterfront landscape.

Tankar’s sea and lighthouse

Offshore, Tankar is a low archipelago island reached by water. Its lighthouse, small seal-hunting museum and marked nature trail connect coastal history with bird-rich shore and rocky open-sea views. The island’s church and fishing structures make a striking counterpart to Neristan’s townscape.
