Stykkishólmur is located on the Snęfellsnes peninsula in the west of Iceland. This small town (ok, basically all the towns in Iceland are "small") features a well protected harbor, easy boat access to hundreds of nearby islands, and a ferry that connects Stykkishólmur with Brjįnslękur in the northwest fjords of Iceland. The ferry also makes a stop at the small island of Flatey.
