The Faroes are made up of
18 separate islands. The varied headlands make the islands
a hikers paradise, and keen ornithologists will enjoy
the wildlife too. Being a set of islands, most produce
is imported which means it can be quite expensive, so
be prepared to pay high prices for almost everything.
Travel to the Faroes during the summer if possible, when
the weather is warmest and the vegetation is at its peak.
At this time there are also a few festivals, the biggest
of which is Ólavsoka in late July. There are beautiful
sunsets at this time of year: because of it’s northern
location the sun sets and then almost instantly rises
again! |
