Day by day
The itinerary in detail
The remote fjords and charming fishing villages of the Eastfjords are not on the road 1 and the extra day (or two) to explore this region is well worth it. Seydisfjordur is one of the best-preserved coastal towns in Iceland; the town centre has timber houses, art shops and a pretty blue church. Borgarfjordur Eystri, the town of elves and puffins, is one of the best places to see puffins in the summer. Mjoifjordur is one of Iceland’s most beautiful and remote fjords and home to one of its tiniest villages with just 40 residents.
