Flatey, also known as 'Flat Island,' is a charming spot in Breidafjordur Bay popular with bird watchers, it can be reached by taking the Baldur ferry from Stykkishólmur. This island doesn't have any hills, making it a unique destination for visitors looking to step back in time and experience Icelandic island life. With a rich history as a commercial and cultural hub, Flatey now comes alive in the summer months with a small community of residents and visitors enjoying its quaint charm, including the smallest library in Iceland and a historic church. Don't miss out on exploring this hidden gem during your Icelandic adventure!
