Portmagee

Going to Portmagee we finally enter in County Kerry.

The village is located on the Iveragh peninsula south of Valentia Island, and is known locally as 'the ferry', in reference to its purpose as a crossing point to the island.

The village serves as a departure point for tourists travelling to visit 'Skellig Michael'.
