Ferry Point Aero Island, Southern Denmark, Denmark
Located at the western part of Ærø island, Ærøskøbing is used to be an independent municipality in Funen county. Not until in 2006, together with Marstal in the east, Ærøskøbing is now a commune belonging to Ærø municipality. With its narrow lanes and picturesque 18th-century houses, Ærøskøbing was historically Ærø’s main town, yet remains the primary port for ferry connections.
Ærø comes from Danish words aer (maple) and ø (island).
Known as the “skipper village” from its being the home of so many sailors and captains, Marstal on the other hand, is the island’s largest town today and is its principal commercial and shopping center.
