Keflavík International Airport, known by its code KEF, is the main gateway for travellers arriving in Iceland and the country's busiest aerodrome. It sits on the Reykjanes peninsula beside the town of Keflavik, and the terminal handles both international arrivals and departures for the whole island. Many visitors pass through KEF at the start or end of a trip, whether they are heading onward to Reykjavik or exploring the volcanic landscapes of the peninsula. Because so much air traffic funnels through this single airport, flight times often fall very early in the morning or late at night, and that shapes how people plan the night before a departure or the first night after landing. Staying close to the airport removes the uncertainty of a long transfer when a flight leaves before dawn or lands after midnight. The hotels near Keflavík International Airport cluster within a few kilometres of the terminal, in and around Keflavik itself. That short radius makes the area practical for one-night stays, layovers and anyone who would rather not travel far after a late arrival.
