Faroe Islands

The Faroe Islands, located between Iceland and Norway in the Atlantic Ocean, are famous for their sheep.

The word Faroese means "sheep".

The Faroe Islands have a population of 54,000, while the number of sheep is over 80,000. These sheep, which are the symbol of the country and of a cold-resistant type, can be seen in every area of ​​the country.

Most of the islands in the Faroe Islands, which consists of 18 islands, are connected to each other by tunnels where some of these tunnels pass under the sea. A long tunnel that partially passes under the sea in the capital Torshavn connects to the country's only airport on the island of Vagar. While for transport on some islands, the helicopter is used as a means of public transport.

Life in the Faroe Islands flows slowly, mostly with its empty and quiet streets. This situation is valid even in Torshavn where half of the country's population lives.

Most people in the island nation make a living by fishing. The harbor area and its surroundings in Torshavn is one of the busiest spots in the country.

In the Faroe Islands where the highest point is 950 meters, most of the time the wind is effective. Due to the strong winds that turn into storms, it has been noticed that even airplane flights have been cancelled. In the country, most of the year is rainy and snowy, while sunny days are few.

Low houses with colorful walls attract the attention of photographers. The trees in the Faroe Islands covered with vegetation and short plants are brought from abroad and cultivated.

While the waters that flow between the cracks of the hills and mountains, visually give a wonderful color to the Faroe Islands.

In the Faroe Islands, the Danish Krone currency is used, while the official language is Faroese. While the other languages ​​used in the country are Danish and English. There is also a very small Turkish population living in the Faroe Islands.
