Aran Islands Description
(Local Name: Oileain Arann) The Aran Islands lie in the Atlantic between 25 and 30 miles southwest of Galway. There are three islands: Inishmore (area 12 sq. mi/30.54 sq. km), Inishmaan (3.5 sq. mi/9 sq. km), and Inisheer (2.25 sq. mi/5.6 sq. km).

The Aran Islands can be reached either by air or sea. Aer Arann flies daily to all three islands from Carnmore, 4mi/6km northeast of Galway. There are daily boat services (CIE line) from Galway and Rossaveal, and in summer from Doolin to Inishmore. In summer there are ferries from Inisheer and Inishmaan from Spidaal, and in summer from Doolin to Inisheer.

Thanks to the remoteness of the islands their inhabitants have preserved much of the old Irish culture
