Twin Otter cruise speed at 10,000 ft 182kts , probably slower on floats.
Personally when in Europe ( and if I ever get back there ) I don’t bother with aircraft.
Trains are way easier.
Nice but when I'm in the Maldives I take a Twin Otter on floats - much more comfortable and quicker than the boats...
