Flatey

Flatey is characterised by the beautifully kept old houses in cheerful colours along a dusty path. The tiny village reminds of a movie set, as when you walk towards the end of the path, it gets narrower and more crooked, taking you through a dense population of birds, mainly Arctic terns. The all-year-round population consists of only two families, however many more move there during summer, mainly for leisure and to service tourists. During summer, a ferry goes to Flatey twice a day from Stykkishólmur and Brjánslækur.
