background

Kragerø is a port town on the Skagerak coast, which is mainly characterized by fishing and tourism. The place has an enormous number of holiday apartments and houses in the area and is one of the more upscale travel destinations on the entire south coast.

Its special feature are the narrow streets and the numerous wooden houses, some of which were built directly on the rocks. The color of the houses - they are mostly painted white - is the reason why Kragerø along with Risør, Flekkefjord, Lillesand and Lyngør the city to the so-called white cities is counted on the Skagerak coast.
