The Blasket Islands are the most westerly land area  in Europe and are a unique group of Islands, inhabited for thousands of years, they were finally abandoned in 1953, when the last inhabitants were moved to the mainland. On the Great Blasket life has stood still, there is no electricity, no phone, no television, no cars, only the sound of the sea, they cry of the gulls, unspoilt beaches, extraordinary bird life and a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. No similar sized community in any part of the world has produced such a wealth of grat literature. You can visit the houses of the famous writers, swim on the magnificent White Strand, or walk back the four miles to the west end of the Island. The Island café provides the best of home cooking at very reasonable prices. Return to Dun Chaoin in late afternoon.
