The Faroe Islands

Eighteen islands, a ferry timetable, and weather that is part of the itinerary.

The Faroes reward people who stay long enough for a second walk in the same valley. Villages keep their own rhythms. The cliffs are famous; the inlets and the turf farms are why we return. This is not a country you cross. It is a small Atlantic you learn by walking.

June to September, when the ferries are least likely to strand you overnight, though they still might.
