The best of Iceland in 10 days

I visited Iceland in September 2018 with some friends and after visited 30 countries I think it is my favourite country so far! We rented 4x4 and stayed in different Airbnb around the island. You can go around the island in 7-9 days. Our first idea was to start with the south, then the east area, continue with the north and back to the west but due to the airbnb bookings, we had to change our itinerary, so book your stay ASAP. This was our itinerary: 1.         Arrival to Reikjavik 2.         South a.         Seljalandsfoss b.         Skógafoss c.         Dyrholaey d.         Kirkjufjara e.         Reynisfjara beach 3.         Est Fjords a.         Fjords route b.         Waterfall c.         Seyðisfjörður village d.         Skalanes 4.         Off-Road a.         Jokurlason (Diamond beach) b.         F-208  Video 5.         Golden Circle a.         Thingvellir snorkelling b.         The wall c.         Gullfoss d.         Geysir 6.         Hekla Volcano climbing 7.         Off-road a.

Turkey, Istanbul

Turkey - Part 1, Istanbul We spent 2 weeks in Turkey in 2021 and visited Istanbul, the turquoise coast and the Cappadocia. We spent few days in Istanbul at the beginning of our trip and at the very end, I recommend you to stay in Galata neighborhood, there is a great atmosphere. Day 1 We went to Santa Sofia very early in the morning – highly recommended if you want to take some nice pictures. Then we joined a free tour in the morning, we had traditional lunch at a restaurant recommended by the guide and the we did a boat tour trip in the afternoon through the Bosporus and ended up in Besiktas where we had some drinks at night in a live music place. Day 2 We went to Balat, the alternative neighborhood. Really nice area where you can take thousands of photos, then we walk to the center and stopped in different mosques: Yavuz selim Mosque Fatih Mosque Sehzade mosque I have to add that sometimes you get a better experience in a little mosque where there is nobody.
