Streymoy, meaning "the island of currents," is the largest and most populated island of the Faroe Islands with Tórshavn as its capital. Streymoy is separated from the nearby Eysturoy, second largest island of the Faroe Islands, by the narrow sound of Sundini in the east. To the West lies the island of Vágar, and to the South the island of Sandoy. Three additional smaller islands are situated around the Southern tip of Streymoy, respectively Koltur, Hestur, and Nólsoy.
The island other important towns include Vestmanna, the former ferry port in the West, Kollafjørður at the centre and the picturesque villages of Saksun and Tjørnuvík in the North. From a historic point of view the village of Kirkjubøur near the southern tip of the island is very important as it was an episcopal centre during the Middle Ages.
