๐Ÿ’œ The annual purple haze has arrived in Achill.

These stunning rhododendron blooms create one of the island's most colourful seasonal displays. While beautiful, rhododendron is an invasive species that can have a significant impact on native habitats and biodiversity.

A reminder that nature is often both beautiful and complex.๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชโœจ Achill Tourism Returns to Milan! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐ŸŒŠ

This week, Achill Tourism was delighted to once again represent Achill and County Mayo at a special Tourism Ireland trade event in the beautiful city of Milan, alongside our partners at Ireland West Airport, Mayo County Council, and Tourism Ireland in Italy. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชโœˆ๏ธ

It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase everything that makes Achill so special from our breathtaking Atlantic coastline and Blue Flag beaches to our outdoor adventures, unique heritage, warm hospitality, and incredible local produce. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธโ›ฐ๏ธ

Meeting with Italian travel agents, tour operators, media, and tourism professionals, we were proud to help promote Achill and the West of Ireland as an unforgettable destination for Italian visitors, made even more accessible through the direct Ryanair service from Milan (Bergamo) to Ireland West Airport Knock, three times a week. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

A very special mention must go to Lara Gallagher from the Tourism Section of Mayo County Council, who joined us on her very first overseas trade show trip. Despite us never having met before this week, Lara brought incredible enthusiasm, positivity, and energy to the event and was an absolute pleasure to work alongside. Weโ€™ve no doubt it will be the first of many successful tourism events for her! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘

A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising such a wonderful event and to all those we had the pleasure of meeting over the past few days. The interest and enthusiasm for Achill and the Wild Atlantic Way was truly incredible, and we look forward to welcoming many more Italian visitors to our island in the months ahead. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Grazie mille, Milano! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นโค๏ธ

๐ŸŒŠ Basking Shark Season around Achill ๐Ÿฆˆ

Weโ€™re lucky to share our waters with these incredible gentle giants. Basking sharks are the second-largest fish in the world, and a truly special sight along the Achill coast.

If youโ€™re out swimming, paddling, surfing or boating, please take a moment to follow the Code of Conduct and help protect them ๐Ÿ‘‡

โœจ Respect their space โ€“ keep your distance
โœจ Do not touch or chase
โœจ Slow down on the water
โœจ Avoid surrounding or crowding sharks
โœจ Stay calm and observe from a distance

Remember, for every shark you see, there may be more just beneath the surface.

By giving them space, weโ€™re helping ensure they continue to return to Achill for years to come ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ“ธ If youโ€™re lucky enough to spot one, enjoy the moment,but always put yours and their safety first.
