The village of Gjogv sits right on the coast of Eysturoy, with a small gorge nearby and imposing flat-topped mountains in the distance.

Hello from the Far (oe) away island 🙃 #visitfaroeislands #thegreatnorthcollective
The tiny town of Gjógv is the most northern village on the island of Eysturoy in the Faroe Islands. Its name actually just means "gorge," and there is indeed a nice little gorge here leading out to the sea. Gjógv also has a guesthouse and some nice hiking trails, and is only about an hour's drive from Torshavn.
The Faroe Islands are home to massive gannet and puffin colonies. Most travelers hike up cliffs or take boat tours to observe these birds. We had a chance encounter with puffins up on Ambadalur Valley in Gjógv. Read about four amazing hikes in Faroe Islands through the #linkinbio 👆🏽

Nice rental in a small town. There's a Café down the street and a gas station/store not too far away. Good location to drive a half hour or hour to get to many beautiful sites.
