The Faroe Islands are located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Norway and Iceland. The 18 islands that make up the archipelago have a dramatic coastline, long summer days (the longest day is 19.5 hours) and a choice of unique activities. The islands are ideal for couples who love outdoor adventures such as scuba diving, hiking and bird watching.
Winter diving is magnificent because of crystal clear water, stunning caves and colorful marine life. If you are a fan of astronomy, travel to the Faroe Islands on March 20, 2015 to watch the total solar eclipse, a rare event well worth experiencing at least once in your lifetime. The Faroe Islands are accessible by ferry and by air (a two-hour flight from mainland Europe). Accommodation options include hotels and guesthouses. Map of Faroe Islands
