About Vík í Mýrdal
Tiny Vík is the cozy hub of the South Coast, with its photogenic red-roofed church overlooking the village. It's the ideal overnight stop between the waterfalls of the south and the glaciers of the southeast, with restaurants, guesthouses, and black-sand views.
When to visit
A handy base year-round; especially valuable in winter for breaking up long drives.
