Iniö is located in the Archipelago Sea and people have traditionally lived from fishing, agriculture, sea fowl hunting and seafaring. It belongs to the Pargas municipality, with its centre in Pargas.

Most people live on the main island, Iniölandet. Another important island is Jumo, as Kannvik ferry harbour is located there. These two islands are connected by a road ferry and the main road runs through them. Minor inhabited islands, some with just a few families, are connected to the mainland with regular ferry services.

There are some archaeological findings from the bronze age. First permanent inhabitants have probably been Swedish speaking fishermen during the early medieval period. The name Iniö appears first in 1554 as a chapel under Taivassalo parish.

Iniö is traditionally Swedish speaking and still has a Swedish speaking majority. Service is usually available in both Swedish and Finnish, as well as in English.

Iniö is on the Archipelago Trail from Turku via Houtskär to Iniö and back to Turku via Kustavi. This is a tourist route mostly targeted at bikers and motorists, but possible to complete by bus and foot.

Iniö can be reached only by boat or ferry. It is connected to other parts of the municipality only during the summer months, except some sparse and convoluted connections. The year-round ferry operates between Iniö and Kustavi in the north. The main village, Norrby, is on the east coast of Iniölandet, some 7 km from the Kannvik ferry jetty and 4 km from the Dalen ferry jetty. The road is paved and is in good condition to both directions.

Iniö is a very small place so there is no public transportation. The roads are quiet and very suitable for walking and biking. Except the main road between Kannvik and Dalen roads are gravel roads. Ask for renting a bike from your accommodation.

The Skagen road ferry between the islands Iniölandet and Jumo runs when needed.

The nearby island Keistiö is connected by scheduled road ferry from Dalen. See the timetables here. From Kannvik there is also a small road ferry to some of the minor islands including Åselholm.

Many smaller islands are served by the ship-like ferry M/S Kivimo, departing from Norrby/Kannvik harbour with timetables and routes differing depending on day of week. The complete route takes several hours. This vessel goes all the way to Torsholma in Brändö, Åland. The timetable' is fairly complex, and in most cases the ferry must be ordered at least one day in advance. Contact the vessel by phone (☏ +358 40-849-5140) and ask. The similar Houtskär route (timetable May–December 2022) reaches Iniö and can likewise be used both to get in and to reach some remote islands.

There are kayaks for rent at some lodging businesses and at the Björklund's guest harbour.

Traditionally the church has been the number one destination. The Norrby village itself is small and cosy. It is also easy to visit the small Keistiö village on Keistiö island, just across the strait from Dalen. Åselholm is a very beautiful archipelago village.
