Island landscape and local atmosphere

Old Edøy Church and the Viking Age

The Old Edøy Church is one of the documented cultural traces on Edøya. Near it, the remains of a ship burial from the Viking Age were identified through archaeological research.

The ship burial is to be understood as a historical finding, not as an automatically accessible sight.

Edøya as a starting point for travel planning

Edøya is especially suitable for a trip in which the small island world itself and the historical significance of the place play a role. The road connection to Smøla and the ferry connection to Tustna make the place's position in the wider island region visible. Whether this location fits your own planning depends on the intended route; current timetables and service information should be checked separately before travelling.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Edøya, the local context therefore comes first: do you want to combine your stay with the island landscape and the documented history around the Old Edøy Church? Then Edøya is an interesting location-based accommodation choice. However, the characteristics of individual holiday apartments, amenities or availability cannot be inferred from the location and should be checked separately in each case.
