The island of Tromoy is the largest one of the nine islands that the main town of Arendal is comprised of.
Tromoy, being quite a small island in comparison, has a special combination of thick pine forests with strips of white sandy beaches dividing them from the open sea and fjords. Within the centre of the island is a rural belt creating the feeling of being in the middle of the country side, even at the height of the busy season one can find tranquillity here.
Stroll through the forests, sun bathing, and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters or fishing. You can find ?your own private beach? or hang with the crowd it?s your choice?
The main town of Arendal is easily accessible; leave your car, 5 mins walk & 5 mins on the ferry to Arendel town centre.
In the 17-1800's 'Venice of the North', as Arendal was earlier nicknamed, being the busiest port in Norway, the North?s main connection to Holland, England, West Indies & the rest of the world. Sail ships queuing up off the neibouring islands of Merdoy and Hisoy waiting their turn to unload their cargo.
Today Arendal is considered summer Norway?s most popular holiday destination, attracting people from around the world. There are an abundance of restaurants, catering for all tastes, pubs, discos and shopping centres?
Island hopping. From the town centre it is possible to take one of the local ferries to one of the many surrounding islands.
The island of Merdø as well as having idyllic white sandy beaches has a museum to visit.
There is also a large river- Nidelv, which have organised sightseeing trips that leave twice a day from the port of Arendal.
So pack your picnic hamper, swimming trunks, snorkel and fishing rod, find your own island & enjoy?
The Four Seasons.
Compared to England for example, the four seasons are much more defined.
Although there are many summer attractions, spring, autumn and winter offer a whole range of spectacular experiences:-
Winter in Southern Norway is almost guaranteed snow from Dec to March, a white blanket creating a backdrop to the perfect winter holiday - skiing, sledging, skating, ice fishing, sea fishing. Welcome to the land of ?Father Christmas?.
Spring brings the melting snow and ice, strong sunshine, life returning to nature, ?the sap rising?. One can choose between - Skiing in the mountains or to sit in a beer garden, have lunch and take in the local sights.
Autumn, many consider to be the most beautiful of seasons in Norway. ?Indian summers? are a common occurrence, daytime temperatures averaging 15C, breathtaking sunsets, and the colours of the autumn leaves on Mother Nature?s canvas?
