easyJet Returns for Third Winter Season

The first winter flight from easyJet touched down in Akureyri last weekend

Autumn has arrived

The old town is glowing with color – cozy houses, bright leaves, and that crisp northern air.

The Ferry to Grímsey

Grímsey ferry Sæfari will be temporarily out of service starting October 6 due to maintenance, with operations resuming in November.

Sheep roundup

Autumn in North Iceland marks the season of réttir – the annual sheep roundup.

How to get here

  • There are several airlines flying directly to Akureyri which is the easiest way of visiting, but flying to the main airport Keflavík in the south of Iceland is also an option and then either take a flight from Reykjavík to Akureyri which takes about 40 minutes or drive/take a bus for aprox 4.5-6 hours along main road 1.  More information here.
