Villas in Odder

About Odder

Odder is a town of around twelve thousand people on Jutland's east coast, just south of Aarhus, and the centre of a municipality that also includes the islands of Alrø and Tunø. Rosengade is a pedestrian street of shops and restaurants, and Odder Museum sits centrally beside the old water and steam mill. The coast is the draw: Saksild, 6 km east, is known for its white sand beach with shallow, clear water, which runs 8 km south to the ferry town of Hou. Our homes are grouped around Odder, most sleeping six or more and nearly half eight or more, with a fireplace in most and a sauna in some. A light rail line, the Odder Line, links the town with Aarhus.

Summer is the season for the long beach between Saksild and Hou and for island days, with daily ferries to Samsø and Tunø leaving from Hou.
