Tvøroyri is one of the largest settlements on Suðuroy, the southernmost island in the Faroe Islands. The town sits at the head of Trongisvágsfjørður, a deep fjord cutting into the island's east coast.
Most visitors arrive by the Smyril ferry from Tórshavn, which docks at Krambatangi on the opposite side of the fjord. The municipality of around 1,800 people includes the neighbouring villages of Trongisvágur, Froðba, and Øravík. Tvøroyri has a small harbour, a few shops, and serves as the main base for exploring Suðuroy's dramatic coastal cliffs and sea stacks — most dramatically Beinisvørð, a 470-metre sea cliff on the eastern coast. The island is quieter and less visited than the northern Faroes, which is exactly the appeal.
