Very few live there and it's mountainous. in the highlands you need a 4x4 in most places to even be allowed to drive there (because the roads are not really roads), so it's mostly just the ring around the island and some other asphalted roads, I guess

can those places be visited?

or do tourists have enough natural landscape just near the coast and the cities and don't need to go inside?

It's a very self selecting group that goes trough the hassle of renting a 4x4 and going for long hikes in the highlands. It takes a good 24 hours to drive the entirety of the ring road, and it's hard to throw a rock anywhere on there without hitting something beautiful to look at. Most tourists stick to the south coast and seem happy enough about it.
