Visby / Gotland

Visby and Gotland Island questions (about Fårö, Stora Karlsö, and other outdoor adventuring that doesn't require a car)
In June I'll spend two weeks in Visby (at an artist residency, so mostly holed up working in a studio but also interested in minimal outdoor adventures, with maybe one overnight in another inspiring place on the island).
This is my second time in Visby, so I'm already a fan of the various ruins, the wall, the botanical garden, Hedbergs, and Surfers.
– Google tells me there's a bus on Fårö itself (after you get onto the island), but how do I view that bus's timetable/route?
– Stora Karlsö: I definitely want to visit, but should I stay one overnight in the hostel to really explore, or did you find a daytrip was enough?
– any obscure beautiful walks you recommend? (reachable by bus)
– any suggestions for vegetarian food in Visby (no meat, no fish, eggs & dairy okay) beyond Surfers, Hedbergs, the creperie, and the grocery stores?
Thank you!

Response by poster: For anyone following this in the future, you can actually walk to a breathtakingly gorgeous area of wild nature/cliffs if you head south from Visby only about 1.5 miles / 2.5 km. The area is called Södra Hällarna. Its entry point is on Google Maps (and is known to all locals).

You can rent bikes on several camping places around Gotland. On Faro I think that Sundersand camping is the best.
You are going to have a great time!
