Selfoss
Selfoss is the largest town in South Iceland. Although it sits by a beautiful spot by the Ölfusá river, it's too close to places like Þingvellir and Gullfoss and Geysir to be noticed, and too close to Reykjavík for most people to think of it as a place to stay the night.| Tap on a place to explore it |
