Destination Fly4free: Iceland
Explore the beauty of Iceland!
Iceland is not just a destination. It is an adventure. This amazing country is filled with spectacular wonders of nature, unique cuisine, inspiring art and culture. There are no words to describe this amazingly beautiful island. Go and see for yourself – it will literally take your breath away!
Iceland is a perfect destination for people looking for the unexpected. It is a place where dark winters are offset by the midnight sun. Take advantage of round-the-clock daylight during the summer months or watch the Northern Lights in the winter time.
There are precious few places in Iceland that offer a dramatic landscape. If you like science fiction movies, you should certainly visit the epic United States Navy DC wreck on Sólheimasandur black sand beach. In 1973 the plane ran out of fuel and crashed in the South coast of Iceland. Fortunately, every passenger survived.
The abandoned wreckage from the airplane crash is now one of Iceland’s most surreal and haunting photography spots. It is located between Skógafoss waterfall and the town of Vík. To get there, you have to drive a dirt access road to Sólheimajökull Glacier (coordinates: 63 27.546-19 21.887). 4x4 is highly recommended but if you dress warm you can also walk 4 km each way from the Road 1. From October to March you can go watching Northern Lights above the airplane wreck!

Where to stay:
Accommodation in Iceland is quite expensive and many visitors choose to stay in youth hostels, guesthouses or campings. We recommend you book in advance during the traveling high season.
We encourage you to stay in iStay Cottages with excellent reviews for €60 per night. Boasting a sauna, these cozy cottages are located in Sandgerdi, just a short car ride from Keflavik and Grindavik. There are 4 lodgings at the vacation rental, each offering all the essentials to ensure a comfortable stay. Keflavik International Airport is less than a 15-minute drive from Istay Cottages.
You can also book homes from local hosts at Airbnb to experience a place like you live there.
What to do:
For those who love hiking, skiing, fishing, horse riding, cycling and rafting, Iceland is a haven. Explore the ice caves in Icelandic glacier or lava tubes, bath in geothermal pools, walk up to the crater or even get inside a volcano’s great magma chamber!
