Skarø
A car-free small island in the South Funen Archipelago, known for handmade ice cream, country lanes and quiet beaches.
Skarø covers less than 2 square kilometers and has only about twenty to thirty permanent residents. There are almost no cars on the island, and you can walk or cycle around it in one or two hours. The best-known attraction is the handmade ice cream from the island’s creamery, made with local milk, and in summer visitors come specially by boat to eat it. The ferry from Svendborg takes about 35 minutes. You can island-hop to Drejø on the same day, but note the last boat times for the return trip.
