A popular stop along the South Coast route, this charming village offers a range of experiences and activities. While the cliffs are a birdwatcher’s paradise, its beautiful black basalt beach holds the promise of a memorable afternoon. Vik’s iconic, red-roofed church is a favorite with photographers seeking to capture the essence of the quaint settlement. Caves and rocks abound in the area whereas Dyrhólaey natural peninsula offers panoramic views of the landscape. Like many other Icelandic villages, this one too comes with a geothermally-heated public swimming pool. With a smattering of restaurants in the village, you are sure to find something to suit your taste. The mighty Mýrdalsjökull Glacier located on the outskirts of the village and the active Katla volcano are the proverbial icings on the cake!
