Best Hotels Near Aran Islands from Galway
The three Aran Islands — Inis Mor, Inis Meain, and Inis Oirr — in the mouth of Galway Bay are a living repository of Irish language, culture, and ancient monuments, including the extraordinary Iron Age cliff fort of Dun Aengus perched on a 100-metre cliff edge on Inis Mor. Daily ferries from Galway and Rossaveal make the islands easily accessible, and the traditional limestone landscape, stone walls, and currach fishing boats have survived largely unchanged for centuries. Hotels in Galway are the main gateway city for day trips or overnight stays on the Aran Islands.
