Introducing Stykkishólmur
The charming town of Stykkishólmur, the largest on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, is built up around a natural harbour protected by a dramatic basalt island. It’s a picturesque place with a friendly, laid-back attitude and lots of brightly coloured wooden buildings, in use since the town’s heyday in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. With a good choice of accommodation and restaurants, good public transport, and a ferry to Flatey and the Westfjords, it’s an excellent base for exploring the area.
