Farø is a Danish island in Storstrømmen between Sjælland and Falster . The strait between Farø and Sjælland is called Kalvestrøm . Two bridges, the so-called Farø bridges , connect Farø with Falster and Sjælland and thus lead the combined European roads E 47 and E 55 from Falster to Sjælland. There is a rest stop at the exit of the same name on the island. In addition, a dam connects the island with the neighboring island of Bogø . Farø is 93 hectares and has 4 inhabitants (January 1st, 2020).

Farø is in the parish of Bogø ( Bogø Sogn ), which belonged to Harde Mønbo Herred in what was then Præstø Amt until 1970 , and then to Møn Kommune in what was then Storstrøms Amt . Since the municipal reform on January 1, 2007 , Farø has belonged to Vordingborg Municipality in the Sjælland region .
