Skellig Michael, Skellig Islands, County Kerry, Munster, Ireland
Skellig Michael is an island off the coast of Portmagee, made famous recently as a filming location in the newest Star Wars trilogy. This sea crag rises 700 feet above the Atlantic and is home to a series of monastic beehive huts that housed Christian monks from the 7th to 12th centuries. Almost entirely cut off from civilization, it’s amazing to think what life must have been like for the hermit monks that inhabited this island a thousand years ago. #History
A view of Skellig Michael off the southern coast of Ireland, made famous recently as a filming location in the newest Star Wars trilogy. This sea crag rises 700 feet above the Atlantic and is swarming with puffins. At the top is a series of monastic beehive huts. The island is only accessible by boat during summer months. If you want to do a boat landing to explore the island, be sure to book your tour several months in advance, as it sells out quickly. It's a place to bring a picnic and explore the #GreatOutdoors.

Our stay was absolutely faultless. The room was beautiful, clean, well-equipped and beautifully decorated. The breakfast provided to be consumed in the room was varied, fresh, local and there was enough to actually provide us lunch each day too!
