We recommend staying for at least three nights, or greater opportunities to see the Volcano Krafla area, Námaskarð, Dimmuborgir, Höfði, Skútustaðir and, last but not least, the lake itself with it’s spectacular bird life. There are several mountains and craters to climb (the view is better from the top, you see!). The Mývatn area offers airplane sightseeing, horseback riding, cave exploring, hiking and biking, swimming and relaxing. There are also bistros and cafe's to try out. The small village of Reykjahlíð has a supermarket, pharmacy, post office, bank and a car garage so you’ll get all the basic services you need.

For more information about Mývatn we suggest reading the Wikipedia article: Lake Mývatn.
