The village of Mykines is the only village on the island with the same name.
It is a beautiful and colorful old village.

Although there are more than 40 houses in the village, there are only about 15 permanent residents (Dated 2023).

Furthermore, their only transport to and from the island for 6 months of the year is by helicopter.
Since there is no grocery store on the island, the islanders also depend on the helicopter to bring in provisions to last them through the long winter.

However, the ferry starts sailing 3 times a week in April and during the four months of summer the ferry sails twice a day including other smaller boat companies that transport people to and from the island. Mykines becomes a vibrant village that bursts with life in the summer and the number of residents increases drastically.
It is a popular holiday destination for travelers from the mainland.
Mykines is a car-free island, so it is peaceful even though there are many visitors.

Mykines is a truly amazing place and is without a doubt the most sacred and fragile of all the places in the Faroe Islands that people can visit.
It is filled with everything unspoiled nature has to offer. (Source: Visit Vágar)
