Valentia Island benefits from the North Atlantic Drift, which keeps winters mild so snow is rare and short-lived. Summer brings long evenings and the busiest ferry timetable, while winter gales often cancel sailings. Traditional music sessions with fiddle, tin whistle and bodhrán are held in island pubs. The Aran Islands have ferries from Rossaveal and Doolin, and flights from Connemara to Inis Mór, showing how island travel around Ireland works.
