Faroe Islands Travel Forum

In June I am planning to go from
Iceland (10 days) to
Faroes (2 nights) to [via a crazy connection in CPH / Aberdeen)
Shetlands (2 nights) to
Orkney (1) nights to
Scotland

Is this a crazy itn?

Is it worth my time to try to fit the Faroes, Shetlands, and Orkney?

Suggestions appreciated!

Not crazy but you will be on planes/boats most the time except for Iceland. If you enjoy the plane/boat transfer experience it will be okay but I have been to all of these places with the exception of the Faroes and believe that you could spend all of your days in just one location. You really won't get much of an Orkney or Shetland feel in the days alotted and they really deserve more - they are fascinating places but you won't get this experience in such a short amount of time.

There is really very little point in spending only one night on Orkney. You will only see Kirkwall (where the airport is). See my Orkney pages to understand why!

Better to focus your visit on one set of islands, I think. As stated above, you'll be spending most of your time in airports/flying if you follow this itinerary.

I agree. Having been to all of the places myself, I can say you need much more time. I suggest cutting out one or two of them and rather come back for a visit later.
