Visit Eastwood and Spielberg's Iceland

Wednesday, 13 Dec 2006 12:21
Iceland has been attracting the attention of more than just holidaymakers recently, with film directors Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg using the country's beaches as a backdrop in their new film, Flags of our Fathers.

As well as the directors, pop group Take That also used the same backdrop for the video for their comeback single, Patience.

The place grabbing all the location scouts' attention is the Reykjanes Peninsula, an hour's drive south-west from Reykjavik, a great place to take in the dramatic and rugged lava-covered landscape of Iceland.

To mark the opening of Flags of our Fathers on December 22nd 2006, Icelandair Holidays is offering holidaymakers a special offer of three nights for the price of two at the three-star Hotel Cabin.

The offer is valid for travel from January 10th to March 31st 2007 and includes return flights from Glasgow (a supplement of £30 should be added from flights from London Heathrow), bed and breakfast accommodation, and costs £219 per person.
