Isn't it Ödkarby? About 15 km north of Mariehamn. Look on Google Maps.

I have a Finnish stamp postmarked "od.../ ådila..." both names are fragments. Typical Finland postmarks are Finnish names up top, Swedish names at bottom
The only 2 towns in Finland beginning with "od..." that I have found are Odkarby and Odenso.
Since Odkarby is in Aland I thought that it might be the one I'm trying to ID.
Haven't found anything yet in Finland beginning with ådila...

What you have is likely Odilampi - Ådilam. It's a small village in southern Finland.
