About this place
Leknes is where you find supermarkets, pharmacies, fuel, the regional airport and a bus connection. It is not a picture-postcard village, but it is a useful base for the western beaches and the central island, and it has a good selection of services year-round.
Local tip
Stock up here before heading to smaller villages in the south and west.
