I visited Black Valley on my honeymoon and it is a fantastic place - real magic!!
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 love Tralee. It is very cute. A lovely, calm, and quiet town.
Valentia Island It really is one of the most spectacular places on earth. Highly recommended.
Cahirciveen Cahersiveen is a town about half way around the "Ring of Kerry", a beautiful and very scenic drive at the foot of Benetee mountain, on the river Fertha overlooking Valentia Harbour.
Ballinskelligs Absolutely fantastic. Nice scenery with beatiful landscape. Perfect place to escape to for a few weeks. Simply aaammmaaazzzing!
