Hotel Edda Egilsstadir

Mais

Egilsstaoir, the “capital of the east” boasts its own international airport and a host of local attractions. Among them are Hallormsstaour, Iceland’s biggest forest, the extinct Mount Snaefell volcano, Atlavík’s sandy cove and the beautiful Lagarfljot river, which, according to myth, is home to one mighty—but shy—monster, a distant cousin of the one in Scotland’s Loch Ness.
