There are really few walks as romantic as the one to Grótta. You could have unforgettable moments away from the downtown. But don't forget the island is only reachable when the tide is low.

I love to hike around the Seltjarnanes peninsula in winter. On the way you also pass by Grotta - and you certainly can smell it!

Amazing serenity . Definitely check the tide-schedule by the parking lot before crossing though!

You can find so many interesting sea shells and stones, its beach was black. No need to go to Vík if you don't have free time.

Best place in town for northern lights . Recommendation: Take a torch, it's really dark.
