Iceland and The Financial Crisis


One of the interesting side effects of the Icelandic Financial Crisis is that their currency, the Icelandic Krona has devalued dramatically losing over a third of its value in the past few weeks. This once fabulously expensive destination is now back in the ranks of affordability.


That £6 glass of beer is now around £4 and we have 3 star hotel rooms from under £40 per person per night including breakfast. Plus we have direct flights from London from around £200.
It's a great destination for a winter weekend away. Visit the waterfalls and gushing geyzers, the volcanoes and glaciers or go snow mobiling or whale watching by day, before exploring Reykjavik's exciting night life with it's gay clubs and bars. Then chill out to recover in the Blue Lagoon - the world's largest hot tub! - before heading back to the airport after an exciting few days away.
