EXPLORE ÆRØ

Discover the Danish island of Ærø — with its unspoilt nature, quiet beaches, historic towns, and a pace of life that reminds you what a holiday is supposed to feel like. Perfect for families looking for a farm stay with animals and relaxation.

🛖 History & culture

Visit Ærøskøbing — one of Denmark's best-preserved market towns, dating back to the 1700s. Cobblestone streets, colourful half-timbered houses, and a sense that time has slowed right down.

🐴 Pony riding for children

Pony riding is the perfect introduction to the world of horses. Young riders get their first experience in the saddle on calm, well-handled ponies — with attentive guidance every step of the way. Sessions include grooming, learning to read horse body language, and a led ride through the farm's fields.

🏖️ Beaches

Family-friendly, natural beaches with clear water and sandy shores. Perfect for swimming, building sandcastles, and relaxing with views across the South Funen Archipelago.

🏰 Søbygård —

       a historic manor house

Visit Ærø's only manor house, built in 1580 and now home to an experience centre with exhibitions, the Geopark visitor centre, and activities for children around the moat. History, nature, and culture all in one place — a great family outing.

🥾 Walking routes

66 km of marked walking trails, including the popular Archipelago Trail (36 km). Take in the spectacular coastal views at Voderup Klint, the rich birdlife at Gråsten Nor, and a string of idyllic villages. A free bus back to your starting point makes it easy.


Casa Ghiorsi is 1.5 km from the bus stop in Skovby.

🚴‍♀️ Cycling

Explore Ærø's charming villages and beautiful countryside by bike. More than 150 km of cycling routes wind through idyllic landscapes, past historic hamlets, and along the coast. Bike hire is available in both Søby and Ærøskøbing.
