Gasadalur
Gasadalur
Gasadalur is a small village situated on the west side of the Faroe Islands. With a population of just 18 people, it is the smallest village in the country. But despite its small size, it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Faroe Islands.
The village is situated atop a stunning cliff, offering stunning views of the nearby villages, the Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Mykines island. The village also boasts its own waterfall, which cascades down the cliff providing a beautiful backdrop.
The nearby bird cliffs are a major attraction, with hundreds of puffins, guillemots and other seabirds nesting in the cliffs each year. The nearby sea is also a great spot for kayaking, and the shoreline is dotted with small caves to explore.
