About a month back I had the pleasure of visiting the Koster Islands, Sweden’s most westerly populated (if only sparsely) islands. Just south of the Norwegian coast, it’s a rugged and beautiful part of the world and a great place to “get away from it all” without having to give up on any creature comforts. The scenery is amazing, the food is phenomenal, the traditional fishing villages about as quaint as it gets, and the folks living there are incredibly friendly and down to earth.
Here are five reasons I reckon nature loving foodies should strongly consider visiting this off the beaten track (although the ferry schedule from the mainland town of Strömstad is regular and reliable) destination.
