An idyllic island holiday not far from Svendborg
When you stay at Hotel Svendborg, you have a unique opportunity to combine cozy market town life with a true island experience. From Svendborg Harbour you can easily take The Aeroe ferry, which in a short time will bring you to Aero – one of Denmark's most charming islands.
As soon as the ferry docks, you feel the pace slow down. Ærø invites you to take the day as it comes and let yourself be guided by the small experiences along the way. An obvious place to start is at the iconic The bathhouses at Vesterstrand, where colorful beach houses line the water. It exudes summer and nostalgia, and it's hard not to be tempted to take a dip or spend some quiet time with a view of the sea.
