Located in the north of the Atlantic ocean, these 18 islands are noted for their rugged beauty, amazing scenery, varied wildlife and comfortable year-round climate, making them a haven for holidaymakers who enjoy getting out in the great outdoors on their getaways. The islands can be reached in a couple of hours from both the UK and mainland Europe and with each destination boasting its own personality, the choice is yours over where you enjoy Faroe Island holidays. Those who like rural seclusion and are searching for a holiday really off the beaten track will not find it difficult to book a remote cottage ideal for using as a base to explore the islands on foot. With some 1,300 kilometres of coastline in the Faroe Islands, you will be spoiled for choice over the best place to explore on two feet. While you wander around the coast of these stunning isles, keep an eye out for the varied wildlife that can be found. Many native flowers and plants can be spotted as can a wide variety of birds of prey. Look out to the waters of the Atlantic and you may even spot a dolphin. One animal which you will have no trouble seeing is sheep. These creatures outnumber the population of the island by factor two so in some spots, you may be more likely to run into a furry companion than another person enjoying the outdoor space. If you are looking for a Faroe Islands holiday which combines the best of both worlds, and offers as much rest and relaxation as you like but also the chance to enjoy a night out and a shopping trip or two, Streymoy is the best place to head. The largest out of all 18 Faroe Islands, Streymoy is also home to the area's capital, Torshavn. The town has around 19,800 inhabitants and like any other capital, has a wide variety of bars, restaurants, shops and coffee houses. For a cosmopolitan night out, why not head to the Faroe Islands' only sushi bar, which can be found here? Alternatively, sample the Nordic-tinged food which can be seen on many of Torshavn's restaurant menus.
