Message from Nicole Zohdi

Kirkjubæjarklaustur, a village in the south of Iceland, is known for its stunning natural attractions like the Laki craters and the Eldgjá. With about 500 residents, it's a cozy spot along the Ring Road where you can find essential services like a fuel station, bank, post office, and supermarket. The area's history dates back to Irish monks and a Benedictine nunnery, with tales of good and sinful nuns adding to its mystique. Plus, don't miss the unique basalt columns at Kirkjugólf, which look like a paved church floor. Whether you're passing through or staying for a while, Kirkjubæjarklaustur offers a charming slice of Icelandic life.
