Syðrugøta Travel Guide

By Verified Expert

Syðrugøta is a seaside village on Eysturoy Island in the mountainous Faroe Islands. Home to the annual G! Festival, this place comes alive in mid July during the music festival.

The festival is held outdoor with the village’s beach as the main stage. Syðrugøta is surrounded by hig mountains and with an undisturbed fjord view of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Syðrugøta has a sister village called Norðragøta. You can easily walk between the villages and it takes only 10 minutes to do so with ocean views along the route.

Gøta is Faroese for ‘path’ and ‘Syðru’ translates to South. Hence, Syðrugøta means The Southern Path and Norðragøta translates to The Northern Path.
