Kaffi Kjölur

About Kaffi Kjölur

South Iceland handles more travellers than any other stretch of the country, and Kaffi Kjölur is a mid-range stop within the region. The kaffi in the name is Icelandic for coffee, and places like this do steady work feeding people moving between the region's waterfalls, beaches and villages.

On a self-drive route through the region, a coffee stop like this earns its place mainly as a warm-up between the long gaps that separate southern villages. Because its opening pattern is unpredictable, treat it as a bonus if you find it running rather than a fixed point to plan a driving day around.
