By bicycle follow the same route as above, but use the cycle paths (open the map) from Turku to Merimasku until the bridge of Kirkonsalmi. Cycle on the side of the main road during the remaining parts of the trip. The roads are asphalted but quite narrow.

By bus start with checking the timetables as the connections between Turku and Velkua vary depending on the season of the year. Note, that bussed go rarely, just a few times a day. Check Föli.
