SUÐUROY
Suðuroy is the southernmost island in the Faroe Islands. Being relatively large and isolated, the “South Island” feels like a world of its own, rich in history and legends. The locals are known for their distinctive dialect and characteristic no-nonsense attitude.
The extensive road network and well-preserved hiking paths between the towns and villages make the attractions remarkably accessible by car, bycicle or on foot.
Nearby, the very southern tip of Suðuroy, Akraberg, is a special place. An end-of-the-world lighthouse perches on the clifftops here at the very last place in the Faroe Islands – what better spot to contemplate just where you are in the North Atlantic – the nearest landfall is the uninhabited Scottish island of North Rona.

Further north, close to the island‘s main town, Tvøroyri, and arrival point for the ferry from Tórshavn, one of the loveliest spots in the whole of the islands is waiting to be discovered: Hvannhagi. If you‘re looking for amazing photos to wow your friends and family this is it: a circular lake set in a meadow of deep-green tufty grass overlooking the ocean, all backed by towering mountains of black rock. Hvannhagi can only be reached on foot – it‘s roughly a 3km hike here from town – but is well worth the effort.
