Killarney's a good base for the Ring of Kerry, however it is the hugest tourist trap I've ever seen. Worse then Disneyworld. I suggest you visit any small town within the country and rub elbows with the farmers to experience the "real" Ireland.
I visited Black Valley on my honeymoon and it is a fantastic place - real magic!!
Apparently the town can be spelled Cahirciveen, Cahersiveen, or Caherciveen. Take your pick.
I love Tralee. It is very cute. A lovely, calm, and quiet town.
The best bet in Dingle is a private tour by Denis Ryan, a musician/cab driver/tour guide! It costs the same as a big bus tour, and Mr. Ryan will take you to the sights you really want to see. It was the best part of our stay in Dingle (next to our hosts, the Brosnans, at Ocean View). His card is up near the pay phone in the pubs, so try it out - you won't be disappointed!
I think that Ballinskelligs is the most beautiful place that I have seen and the people are so nice and friendly lovely place to have a holiday when you get the weather!
Unbelievably beautiful place! I've traveled to over 40 different countries, and nothing so far has compared to this tiny village in County Kerry, Ireland. I left my heart in Ballinskelligs.
Valentia Island It is a wonderful and pleasant place to stay and very friendly. Check out the pub beside the water.
Dingle Savage craic and savage Guinness -- a gem of a spot with beautiful surrounding areas.
