Eastern Iceland

While it may not be the perfect vacation stop for those who are looking for quick access into big cities and a vibrant nightlife, Eastern Iceland is still an incredible portion of this country that offers something wonderful, albeit different, to its citizens and tourists. Imagine spacious forests backed up to enormous mountains and rugged fjords, and around this natural wilderness lie diminutive homes and fishing villages like Eskifjörður. This picture is exactly what Eastern Iceland exists as, a huge portion of the country packed with natural wonders.

The center of Eastern Iceland is the little village Egilsstaðir, where there is a small airport that brings in travelers from Reykjavik. The region extends north to Bakkafjörður and south to Djúpivogur. Eastern Iceland, though not as easily reached and traveled as some of the other regions, will certainly be worth your trip. Try some locations like the Easter Fjords and the charming little town of Seyðisfjörður.
