It is one of the most amazing places in the world.
Home of the Highest Sea Cliffs in Western Europe, Achill Island is the largest of Irish islands.
Its magnificent sandy beaches at Keel and Keem, the beautiful villages of Dooagh and Dooega and the warm hospitality of its lovely people attract the visitors from all over the world all the year for holidays.
The Island is a perfect location for outdoor activities like windsurfing, sailing, abseiling, diving and many others, and is accessible from the mainland by a swing bridge and by road all year round.
No wonder, if Achill Island has provided inspiration for artists, photographers, sculptors, potters and writers through times, since it is a combination of soaring mountains and beautiful beaches, all surrounded by the Atlantic skies.
Today Achill is a considerable center of fine art that sells in its several art galleries and local craft shops.
