General Tips: Allihies - colorful fassades
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Allihies is a small village on the north road leading from Kenmare to Dursey Island and it might be a great place tospend the night in a B&B, because many of these colorful houses have a few rooms to let for tourists.
    Recently I even saw a large bus from Netherlands there, so this is not anymore a "secret" tip
    .


    Fondest Memory: this village has the best collection of great colorful houses, I remember, and I also saw many of these beautiful houses already as a background in german movies on TV

    General Tips: Cork - Irelands 2nd largest city
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Cobh harbour, in the south of the town might be interesting for you, as it served as the main-port for people immigrating to the USA in the 19th and 20th century

    Fondest Memory: The town Cork is great for shopping, but I mostly go into the landscapes and did not spend a lot of time in big cities.

     Hoping to visit some of those places soon. County Cork looks lovely in your pictures, the colourful houses, the stunning scenery, so much to look forward to. Very nice page with lots of useful information.
