Søby is the most northern town on Ærø, ori­gi­nal­ly serving as an old shipyard and ferry town and this also manifests itself in the small streets and alleys of the town oozing maritime at­mosp­he­re. From the harbour, you can see the local life unfold and how the ferry de­par­tu­res con­tri­bu­te to the life and the constant buzzing on the harbour.

Søby is par­ti­cu­lar­ly known to golf ent­hu­si­asts because it is in these parts of the island you will find the most beautiful seaside golf course in Northern Europe. The golf course is located a mere 5 km north of Søby and is nestled in scenic sur­ro­un­dings.

From Søby, you can also go hiking and cycling to take in the scenic co­un­trysi­de and coast­li­nes of Ærø.
