The Faroe Islands gained some avid fans at a balmy evening reception co-hosted by Sunvil Discovery and Atlantic Airways on Tuesday night. Held at the Danish Ambassador’s residence in Belgravia, the event set out to raise awareness of this little known, yet stunning archipelago. Cocktails on the breezy terrace, delicious canapés and beer, and traditional Faroese music (including impromptu singing by Atlantic Airways president, Magni!) ensured a good night was had by travel agents and journalists alike. The Faroes hold unique appeal – picture a virgin landscape with towering sea stacks, dramatic coastline, abundant birdlife and arguably the smallest capital city in the world. If you’re wondering how to get to the islands, which are currently enjoying temperatures of around 22 degrees, it’s a three-day swim or twice-weekly flights from Stansted with Atlantic Airways.
