For the third year in a row, our panellists deemed Grótta the best romantic walk. Although we don’t know how many of them have actually taken their significant others to Grótta, it’s easy to see why it keeps taking the cake. Grótta is an island at the tip of Seltjarnarnes, which features a picturesque lighthouse. If your timing is good, the tide will be low and you can stroll over hand-in-hand, take a seat on the rocks and look out across the ocean whilst dreaming about what’s on your horizon. Do note, however, that the island is off limits during nesting season.
