Cheap flights from Amsterdam to Shetland Islands from £308

The food of the Shetland Islands is always of good quality, but you can experience authentic local shopping on your way on highways. The islands' farms produce milk, eggs, butter and cheese. You may find stalls with farm-made goods on sale by the roadside with no salesmen. Choose a good, but do not forget to leave the payment in an “honesty box”.

Riding a bike around the Shetland Islands, you will want to stop on every corner to catch its special vibe. Rent a bike from the Grantfield Garage for 5 pounds per day or 30 pounds per week and start your adventure with Baltasound — Hermaness cycling route. Being not so long (around 21 kilometres), this route across the rocky hillside with views over Harold’s Wick is suitable for everyone.

Park your car near the lighthouse and head to spectacular Eshaness Cliffs, the oldest rocks in Britain, estimated to be 3 billion years. Be careful and move as close to the cliff edge as you dare, but remember there is no help in case of an accident. At the end of the stroll, pay a visit to The Braewick Cafe and opt for their always fresh and tasty seafood.
