In July 2011 a group of friends and I went to the stay on the The Great Blasket Island. The Blasket Islands are a group of six islands off the coast of Dunquin, Co. Kerry which were inhabited by a completely Irish speaking population until 1953. Nowadays, from spring to autumn, a ferry operates for people wishing to visit the main island and explore the ruined houses and enjoy the amazing view of the mainland from the island itself. It's a spectacular island and possibly one of the most beautiful islands off the Irish coast.
