I’ve lived in Iceland my whole life, and I feel like it doesn’t matter how much I travel around it there are always so many places I have left to explore. So when people come here for a few days and see only the most popular places, they are missing out on a lot.
It’s not only the scenery and natural phenomena of the less visited places, but also the history and the culture of Iceland that often gets overlooked. So whereas I can see why people who are here for the first time would go straight to the Golden Circle, I'd really love for more tourists venture a bit off the beaten track to get a deeper experience of what Iceland is truly like.
So if you’re looking for something with a little different flavour, think about renting a car and setting the course for these less well-known locations in Iceland.
