Ærø is all about holidays at child's pace

Ice cream in hand, feet on cobblestones and enough time to let the children lead the way. On Ærø, holidays are manageable and full of little experiences that arise along the way. Beaches, nature and charming towns are close by, and you don't need a plan for your days to be meaningful. Here, there is room for play, breaks and moments you didn't know you were missing.
