We have a 5-day stay in Ireland where 2 days in Dublin. We want to have 3 days visiting Dingle, Ring of Kerry and Skellig Michael. What is the best direction to minimize driving?
option 1) Dingle - Ring of Kerry(counter-clockwise) - Skellig Michael - Killarney national park
option 2) Killarney- Ring of Kerry(counter-clockwise) - Skellig Michael - ladies view - muckross house - Dingle
2) Is one day enough to do Ring of Kerry with Skelling Michael?
3) If I have to choose between Ring of Kerry and Dingle, which one is more quaint and relaxing?
4) Between the coast ring of kerry drive vs Killarney national park, which one is more scenic? (if I have to choose between the two)?
