Flatey is a secluded island off the coast of Iceland, located in Breiðafjörður Bay. It is the perfect destination for those looking for an escape from everyday life. With only two locals living on the island and no shops, visitors can expect to experience a unique sense of seclusion. Tourists can explore by taking a short hike around the island and marveling at its wildlife, including Arctic terns with their fierce protective nature. There is also much to uncover in Flatey's rich history, such as visiting the library built over a century ago or the church that houses a mural depicting Jesus wearing a traditional Icelandic knit. Those searching for a truly remote adventure can also check out the derelict ships situated on the beach and hunt down elusive wild puffins (during the summer months). Enjoy a boozed up Flajito and spend time relaxing amongst the soundscape of waves crashing against the shore, bleating sheep and squawking Arctic terns.
