Island-Hopping on Fyn and Ærø
On this island-hopping tour in The South Fyn Archipelago you will be cycling to beautiful beaches, breathtaking hills with stunning views and charming villages with cosy cafés. Sailing is an important part of your holiday here. The ferry ride to Ærø gives you intriguing glimpses of small islands inhabitated by few people – and some of them only by grazing cattle. Besides Fyn and Ærø, you will have the chance to visit the small, scenic islands of Thurø, Tåsinge and Avernakø. After the tour you can also go visit the ”capital” of Fyn, Odense, which is the home town of the world famous poet and fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen. Odense has it all: charming high streets, fascinating museums and galleries, inviting green parks and delightful cafés. Odense is also rightly known for being a remarkably bike-friendly city. In fact, there is no better way to explore this modern, lively and authentically “hyggelige” city than by bike. Welcome to an amazing bike holiday on Fyn and Ærø!

You have the opportunity to visit Ærø’s own brewery Rise Bryggeri, the manor Søbygaard with its interesting art exibitions or enjoy a delicious cup of coffee at a small cycle café a little south of Søby.
