Where in Iceland to relax in nature with comfort? In this blog post, I selected the most unusual places. Check it out and get inspired!

WHAT IS GLAMPING AND WHY YOU SHOUD TRY IT IN ICELAND ?
The word "glamping" came from the other two: glamour and camping.
For the first time, this neologism appeared in 2005 in the UK.
The concept has become very popular among the brits who love both nature and comfort.
In 2016, the word "glamping” became a trend and was even introduced into the Oxford Dictionary.

In Reykjavik Domes, glampers get all the charms of camping without camp hardships.
This unusual cozy dome of 25 m2 houses a soft double bed, covered with sheepskin, and a burning fireplace.
Guests enjoy a hot shower and a clean toilet not under a bush, but in a separate room.
Here you can fall asleep looking through the large windows at the starry sky and the dance of the northern lights.
Moreover, you get a private jacuzzi.
And all this among the stunning scenery of Icelandic volcanoes and the Esia mountain range.
As for me, it's the perfect escape to nature.
