The Faroe Islands an autonomous area under Danish administration lie between Iceland and Norway. Although there are many islands in the group only 18 are inhabited with a population of about 45 000. The islands (reached by air from Denmark and Iceland or by ferry from Iceland Denmark Norway or the Shetlands in Scotland) consist of rugged green mountains fjords and countless waterfalls. Other attractions include medieval churches fishing villages old farmhouses and sheep. We love it there: It’s not in the least touristy the people are friendly (you’ll find yourself engaged in long talks with the local fishermen) it’s fairly modern and it has a unique atmosphere. The light which constantly changes is extraordinary. The islands are known for their linguistic diversity as every little “bygd” (settlement) has a very distinctive dialect. We especially enjoyed the towns of Gjogv Kirkjubo Torshavn (the capital city) Tjornevik (wide windswept beach) and Saksun (set on the hillside above a tidal lake). Be prepared for sudden changes in its relatively mild climate.
