Öland is reached by ferry from Nynäshamn and Oskarshamn, and by flights to Visby, which makes a meal in Borgholm easy to fit into a longer island trip. Atlantic weather systems bring wind and rain to Scandinavian islands, especially in autumn and winter, so a table indoors is welcome after a day outdoors. Southern Scandinavian islands do not have midnight sun, so summer evenings here darken at a normal hour.
