Faroe Islands - grass and icy ocean.

Welcome to the far north of Europe, to a place where you can take perhaps the most beautiful photos of natural beauty, where you can try swimming in the icy ocean, enjoy watching the largest colony of puffins on steep cliffs, or experience a tunnel ride under the sea! This fascinating archipelago in the north of Europe offers much, from cruising the gorges between 700m high cliffs to visiting one of the oldest capitals in Europe. The capital Torshavn, although not large and with less than 20,000 inhabitants, offers everything a metropolis should have, restaurants, clubs, theaters, galleries and hotels. It is located on the main island of Streymoy, and the city offers a beautiful view of the neighboring island of Nolsoy.

The Faroe Islands are known for their beautiful and green hilly landscapes, where no trees can be seen, but one can enjoy a unique phenomenon during the summer, when the grass changes color several times during the day. Needless to say, due to such natural beauties, this island group abounds with visits by painters from all over the world who find inspiration for their works here.

The Faroe Islands, also known as the Sheep Islands, belong to Denmark, while the first settlers were from Norway in the 9th century. At the same time, the Irish arrived on the islands, bringing with them sheep, for which this archipelago is known today.

The economy is mainly based on fishing and fish processing, and as there is no heavy industry, the water and air are unpolluted and clean. Sheep are very common animals, they walk freely, so it is very likely that they will join you while drinking coffee in the cafe garden.

The island's cuisine is specific, with fish and seafood, as well as mutton. It is recommended to try the Toscar fish, prepared in a sauce with sour cream and apples, whose combination of flavors will enchant you. Farani love sports and sports activities, and football and handball are mostly watched and played.

Thanks to its position and preserved nature, fresh and clean, unpolluted air, cultural heritage and interesting activities, the Faroe Islands provide a non-commercial and active respite in northern Europe, miles away from native Denmark and well-trodden tourist routes.
