Inishmore
Inis Mór, also known as Inishmore, is the largest of the three Aran Islands, covering approximately sixteen square miles. Situated on the west coast of Galway, about thirty miles out in the Atlantic Ocean, the island offers a whole new meaning to the word 'paradise'. Each island proudly sustains a year long population. Inis Mór has a population of approximately 900 people which grows in the summer-time, becoming a mixture of islanders, mainland locals and holidaymakers. The islanders still speak their native language but will have no problem in communicating in English. While a lot of island-income comes from the fishing industry, most islanders make their money from tourism and therefore the summer months are vital in terms of comfortable living throughout the rest of the year. With the archaeological sites, some dating back 2,500 years, it's hard to believe that the island actually had a form of civilisation. The forts, churches and monasteries will leave you in bewildered awe at how people lived on this rock infested island. Inis Mór is the most developed island in terms of tourist facilities while still retaining a sense of old world living and a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you visit Inis Mór to relax or to work, to study flowers or to take pictures, (or simply just to have the craic), you'll find that it is a unique place that creates an indescribable sense within, that artists and writers have been expressing so well throughout the years.
