Faroe Islands

Comprising a group of 18 excellent islands located halfway between Iceland and Norway in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, Faroe Islands is a self governing territory of Denmark presently aiming for higher independence. Rugged, green and wind-swept, Faroe Islands topography dominated by steep mountainsides are home to over 50,000 humans and 70,000 sheep. Featuring over 2 million pairs of birds, including some of the largest colonies of storm petrels, Faroe Islands is an excellent tourist destination, however, the temperament of the climate in these regions restricts holiday season between the months of May and September.

Incredibly beautiful, the scenic nature of Faroe Islands is extraordinarily green and pleasant especially during the summertime. Picturesque valleys, the fresh air and the deep blue ocean provide a magnificent and wild landscape for mountain hiking, horse trekking, boating and long bus-rides which are almost invariably enjoyed by the visitors. A great escape from the maddening city crowds, the amount of daylight available at Faroe Islands nevertheless varies by season due to its closeness to the Arctic Circle.
