A country bursting with energy and pent-up silence. Spouting geysers and bubbling mud pools, volcanoes (hopefully dormant), raging rivers and magnificent waterfalls. A multitude of birds, whales and fascinating Viking heritage - not forgetting the elusive 'hidden people'.

| | THE FLATEY HOTEL
This family-run boutique hotel is the best place to savour Iceland’s warm welcome and enjoy delicious food, based on local traditions.
The hotel buildings were once the village warehouses, flanking the market square. They and have been tastefully converted and still form the heart of the village - Think painted wooden houses, candles and romantic, cosy rooms.
