About Faaborg
Faaborg is an old port town of about seven thousand people on a promontory with water on three sides. The medieval core has cobbled streets, a town gate from about 1470 and the Klokketårnet bell tower from about 1250, with views from the top. The marina takes visiting yachts, and restaurants, cafés, bars and a cinema sit close to the harbour. Our homes are spread over about eight kilometres, mostly sleeping six, with a fireplace in about half and a sauna in some. Ferries leave from the harbour for Lyø, Avernakø, Bjørnø and Ærø. Off season, check opening hours before you set out.
