Hello, dear friends of Iceland! My name is Konstantin. I am the Iceland travel enlightener. I spent many years to consult unexperienced tourists, organize tours and guide happy guests of Iceland. And my skills are high. I answer stressless to the stupid questions like Can I bathing in geysir? or Why Iceland is so expensive? Well, I am used to. My poor English could be totally enough to help you to prepare for the trip to Iceland. But my native language is Russian. So, you may write to me your weird questions about Iceland in both languages. Well, I am used to. If you have nothing to say but still curious, just check out my blog. I will try to write about something that hasn't been posted yet on Guide to Iceland. Hmm, it would not be easy. But I'm used to.

The Day when Iceland became great again

Today is the date when Iceland became great again. Bjórdagurinn is celebrated every year on March 1, honoring the elimination of the 74-year prohibition of beer. Prohibition lasted from 1915 to March 1, 1989. Just imagine an island far far on North where people have no joy to drink beer and you will realize how tough their Fridays was. Light has come and the darkness has been defeated! People of Iceland went crazy on 1 March 1989. Beer was sold out very quickly. Emotions were so great! In 1989 I didn't even know about Iceland. I didn't even know about a beer and alcohol as well. I was a kid

Bonus tracks for Golden Circle

Golden Circle is the most popular area in Iceland among travellers (oh, man, such a fresh idea!) I was there hundred times but still love it (yeh, tired to love it). Programme is classic: Thingvellir National Park, Geysir area, Gullfoss waterfall, Kerið the crater. Sometimes local vendors adds to daytour Fontana Geothermal Baths in Laugarvatn to let customers take a bath and taste geothermally baked rye bread (I recommend). But if you travel selfdrive or book a custom tour you can ask your driver to add some beautiful spots which is not included in classic Golden Circle programme. This p

Helicopter tour over South Iceland

Iceland From Above Last summer I traveled a lot outside Reykjavik, especially to South Iceland. I can confirm to you that jeep excursions are great fun whatever the weather is. A Snowmobile ride on Langjökull glacier and hiking around Landmannalaugar was also a lot of fun. But I could not have imagined how beautiful Iceland could be at the exact same locations from above the ground. Flying over Iceland is strongly recommended for everybody and not only photographers or filmmakers. If you want to see Iceland from air you can choose between airplane and helicopter services.

Guide to Iceland. The very first printed issue

Old books and newspapers are my fetish. I experienced the first bookasm in my life 17 years old while cleaning dusty bookshelfs in The National Archives of Iceland. You will feel something similar to that if you visit Bókin bookstore at Klapparstig, in downtown Reykjavik. And I would be more than happy to show you where they are. Iceland is a the most authentic country in the World. Not much has changed since 1892 except the quantity of the population. You can read evidence about that here below.
