Inishmore, the largest island, is more tourist oriented, with shops offering crafts and island tours by bike or horse-drawn wagon. On Inishmaan, don't miss Teac Synge, the lovingly restored thatch-roof cottage where Irish playwright John Millington Synge spent his summers in the late 19th century. You can also rent cottages, farmhouses and even old castles. Pub fare is generally good and modestly priced. From Seattle, you can fly Delta to an Atlanta connection.
Prices vary depending on the season.
Buses and trains will get you almost everywhere, but a car offers the best flexibility. Roads are narrow, but drivers are kind. The trip takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Plane service is also available to all three islands via Aer Arann. Luggage, backpacks, accessories and more.
