Inis Meáin
From Wikitravel
Inis Meáin, one of the Aran Islands in County Galway, West Ireland, is well named. It is the middle island of the three, and has a size and population also almost exactly halfway between that of the other two islands.
The island is 5km by 3km and has a population of approximately 170. These people mostly live along a three kilometer stretch of road that traverses the centre of the island east to west. The island is an Irish-speaking area, but most inhabitants can speak English, if they feel like speaking to tourists (which they may not).
[edit] Get in
- Aran Directand Island Ferries, operate from Ros an Mhíl, in Connemara with bus connections to Galway City.

Inis Meain is highly accessible from the sea, via the harbour on the north side of the island. Ferries run regularly between here and rosaveal, and sail 364 days a year except in the most extreme adverse weather conditions.

There are B&Bs; alternately, knock on a door and ask if you can pay to pitch a tent in their field.
- An Dun B&B and Restaurant. ( Opposite the big stone fort just beyond the church.) Great place, spotless, with very friendly hosts, also does a great dinner in the evening if you tell them before mid-afternoon.
