We had a wonderful stay with Kathleen and Jimmy (Declan’s parents) in Portmagee. As our Skellig landing tour was unfortunately canceled, Kathleen was able to give some great recommendations of places to visit around Portmagee!! Kingstown was a great little village, and do NOT miss the Tetrapod tracks on your way around Valencia Island.
While in Portmagee, go see James at Portmagee Distillery and take the entire 360 tour of the history of Portmagee and his family’s history.
Overall, Declan’s family place is within walking distance of Fisherman’s Bar for dinner, the boat launches if your fortunate to get a Skellig landing tour, and some great little shops and pubs in town. You won’t need to use your car within town, only to get to Valencia and enjoy the sites there!
