A getaway to an island — no matter how big or small — should feature on any good travel itinerary. Make your escape complete by heading to Ross Island and spending time by the water.

This water-surrounded land mass is located in Killarney, but Ross Island of course isn't the only thing to check out around this area. If you're eager for more sights, Gap of Dunloe is worth a detour as well.

Doolin is a wonderful town to visit. If you value your privacy like my husband and I, then this is the best choice. We had a deck with a hot tub overlooking the hills and the ocean.
