Holmavik (Hólmavík) Town
Holmavik (Hólmavík) Town
This is the only town on east side of the West Fjords region and a service centre for the area. Here you’ll find a restaurant, cafe, tourist information, supermarket and a fuel station - the last to be seen for a while so it’s important to fill up!
Visit the woodcarving workshop where craftsmen specialise in carving Icelandic and migrant birds, such as the golden plover. And don’t miss the Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft - it's both quirky and slightly spooky.
Here on the seafront, you'll find a cluster of older buildings including a family home with an eclectic collection of unusual garden ornaments.
