🇮🇪 Everyone’s heard of the Ring of Kerry. But have you heard of the Beara Peninsula?

Just south of the famous Ring of Kerry is another spectacular coastal drive, with winding roads, colorful fishing villages, rugged mountains and a fraction of the crowds.

And if you’re planning a trip to southwest Ireland, we think it deserves a spot on your itinerary!

📍 Here are 5 places worth stopping for along the way:

🏘️ Eyeries: A little village famous for its brightly painted houses, with mountains on one side and the Atlantic on the other.

🚠 Dursey Island: Take Ireland’s only cable car across the sea to an island with no shops, pubs or restaurants. Just walking trails, wildlife and spectacular coastal views.

🪨 Ardgroom Stone Circle: One of Beara’s ancient stone circles, tucked into the countryside with the mountains as its backdrop.

⚓ Castletownbere: A working fishing port where you can stop for fresh seafood and watch the boats coming and going.

🏞️ Healy Pass: A winding mountain road with some of the most spectacular views on the peninsula. Take your time on this one!

The best part? You don’t have to squeeze it all into one day.

With a County Kerry UnTour, you can settle into your own comfortable home base, explore at your own pace and ask your local UnGuide for recommendations along the way.

💚 Because sometimes the best days are the ones where you have the freedom to take a detour, stop for another coffee or spend a little longer somewhere you love.

📌 Save this for your next Ireland road trip, or share it with someone who’d love to explore the Beara Peninsula!

If you had one day in Oaxaca, how would you spend it? 🇲🇽

Our answer: by deliberately not trying to see everything.

We’d eat somewhere people have been eating for generations, visit somewhere that helps us understand the place we’re in, ask plenty of questions and leave enough time to actually enjoy it all.

Here’s how we’d spend the day →

Start at Mercado 20 de Noviembre, where you’ll smell tortillas, chocolate and plenty of delicious things sizzling over a flame. 🔥

You’ll obviously be thinking about what to eat, but look around while you’re deciding.

The market has been part of the city since the 19th century, and some of its traditional cooks have spent decades here. Take your time, watch what’s happening and ask what you should try before ordering breakfast.

Head above the valley to Monte Albán, one of the most important cities of the ancient Zapotec world.

Walk between temples, tombs and terraces, look for the hieroglyphic inscriptions and take in the valleys below. People began building here more than 2,000 years ago, and for centuries this mountaintop city was a political and cultural centre for the region. 🏺

It’s the kind of place that gives you a little more context for everything you see in Oaxaca afterwards.

Back in Oaxaca, don’t squeeze lunch in between activities. Lunch is the activity.

Ask about the mole, notice the corn, chiles, herbs and cacao turning up in different forms, and order something you haven’t tried before.

And ask questions while you’re there. What’s in this? How is it made? Is this something people here eat at home?

Oaxaca’s famous cuisine comes from centuries of agricultural knowledge, Indigenous traditions and generations of cooks, so there’s a lot you can learn about the place over lunch. 🌽

Rather than hunting for souvenirs, spend some time learning about Oaxacan weaving, pottery or woodcarving from someone who actually does it.

Ask about the materials they use, how different pieces are made, who taught them and how long the process takes. You’ll come away understanding far more about what you’re looking at.

And if something does come home with you, you’ll know exactly where it came from and who made it.

And the winners are… 📸🌍

Our UnTourists captured some pretty special moments, and choosing our photo contest winners wasn’t easy!

🥇 1st place: Inch Beach, Ireland by Randi Downs. A family trip that carried a little extra meaning, honouring a journey that a loved one never got to take. Sometimes, the places we visit become part of a much bigger story.

🥈 2nd place: Saint of Switzerland by Charlotte Niceswanger. A train journey, a pilgrimage route, and an unexpected discovery that made the day all the more memorable.

🥉 3rd place: Fresh Fish in the Dominican Republic by Mark Price. A moment at the local market that captures the people and everyday encounters that can make a trip truly memorable.
Honorable mentions: Dutch Reflection and Swiss Cow.

Congratulations to our winners, who will receive $500, $250, and $100 in UnTours travel credit, respectively!

These photos are a lovely reminder that travel can be about so much more than the places we see. It’s the stories we learn, the people we meet, and the unexpected moments that help us understand a place a little better. With a local UnGuide to share their knowledge and point us in the right direction, those moments can become some of the most memorable parts of a trip.

Thank you to everyone who shared a photo with us. We loved seeing the world through your eyes! 💚

POV: You’ve booked a trip to Ireland, and your breakfast guests are the local chickens. 🐔🇮🇪

Meet Padraig, one of our County Kerry UnTour cottages, set on a working dairy farm in the Irish countryside.

And yes, the chickens might just pop by to say hello!

Imagine waking up here, making yourself a coffee, and enjoying a slow breakfast with fresh eggs collected from the hen house, surrounded by green fields, old stone walls and the occasional curious cow. 🐄

The cottage itself is pretty lovely, too.

🏡 Three comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms (one even has a Jacuzzi bath!).

🔥 A fireplace for cosy evenings after a day exploring.

☕ Your own private patio, perfect for that first morning coffee.

🥚 A kitchen stocked with groceries to welcome you, so you don’t have to rush to the shops when you arrive.

And because this is an UnTour, you’re not just booking somewhere to sleep.

You’ll have your own home base for exploring County Kerry, the freedom to come and go as you please, and a local UnGuide to help you get to know the area.

Spend your days exploring the Ring of Kerry, visiting little villages, stopping for seafood chowder or following a recommendation from your UnGuide. Then come home, put your feet up and see whether the chickens have come back to visit.

We can’t promise they’ll make an appearance, but we think you’ll feel right at home either way. 💚

🐔 Know someone who’d love waking up here? Send this their way!

📌 Save this for your next trip to Ireland.

🇮🇪 Planning a trip to Ireland? Here are 5 things a County Kerry local wants you to know.

Nobody knows a place quite like the people who call it home. So, we asked our local UnGuide, Majella, to share a few things she wishes every visitor knew before coming to Kerry.

1️⃣ Don’t try to see everything in three days.

The Ring of Kerry, Di**le Peninsula, Killarney National Park, Valentia Island… there’s a LOT to see. But trying to squeeze it all into a few days means spending more time in your car than actually enjoying Kerry. Pick one area each day and give yourself permission to stop whenever something catches your eye. You’ll be glad you did.

2️⃣ Don’t let a little rain change your plans. ☔

There’s a reason Ireland is so green! The weather in Kerry can change several times before lunch, but that’s all part of the experience. Pack a waterproof jacket, dress in layers and keep your plans flexible. And if the rain really does set in? That’s a perfectly good excuse to find a cosy pub.

3️⃣ Take the smaller roads (and take your time).

Some of Kerry’s loveliest spots are tucked away along narrow country lanes, known locally as boreens. You might come across a little beach, an old ruin or a viewpoint you hadn’t planned to visit. Just remember that these roads are often VERY narrow, so drive slowly and be prepared to pull in for oncoming traffic.

4️⃣ Ask a local where THEY would go.

Whether you’re ordering coffee, stopping at a village shop or chatting to someone in a pub, don’t be shy about striking up a conversation. Instead of asking what’s worth seeing, try asking, “Where would you go for a walk on a day like today?” You might end up somewhere you would never have found on your own.

5️⃣ Leave room for a good pub afternoon. 🍻

Kerry’s mountains, lakes and coastline get plenty of attention, and rightly so. But don’t overlook the pleasure of spending a rainy afternoon in a little village pub, listening to traditional Irish music, enjoying a bowl of seafood chowder or chatting with whoever happens to be sitting beside you. Some of your favorite vacation memories might happen when you’re not sightseeing at all.

💚 And here’s one more tip from us: get to know your UnGuide!

When you travel to County Kerry with UnTours, you’ll have Majella, your very own local UnGuide, to help you settle in, share her favorite places and offer advice throughout your stay.

You’ll have the freedom to explore Kerry your way, with someone who knows the area just a phone call away.

If you’re staying in Porto for a few days, we’d make room for one day in the Douro Valley. 🍷

It’s close enough to be easy, but once you’re winding through the hills and along the river, it feels like you’ve left the city far behind. Yes, there’s w**e, but you can also wander historic towns, take in the scenery from the water, and enjoy a long lunch somewhere along the way.

We’d make a day of it, then head back to Porto with plenty of time left for dinner. Because sometimes the best day trips are the ones that don’t require packing a bag.

Save this one for your Porto plans. 📌

Every time we catch up with Christos, our UnGuide in Nafplio, another local recommendation goes on our wish list. This was too good not to share.

A short drive from Nafplio is Karonis Distillery, where the same family has been making ouzo for 145 years. Five generations later, they’re still welcoming visitors through the doors.

What we love about it is how personal it feels. You can wander through a small museum filled with old bottles, photographs, and distilling equipment dating back to the 1870s, hear the family’s story, learn how ouzo is made, and finish with a tasting while chatting with the people who know it better than anyone.

Even if ouzo has never been your drink, it’s a fascinating glimpse into a family business that has been part of this corner of Greece for well over a century. By the time you leave, you’ve learned a little more about the Peloponnese, the people who call it home, and a tradition that’s still very much alive today.

These are the kinds of recommendations we always appreciate from our UnGuides. The family distillery you might not have known about. The restaurant they’d send a friend to. The festival happening while you’re in town. The walk that’s worth taking for the view.

It’s local knowledge that gives you more possibilities for what to do with your days, while leaving you completely free to decide which ones you want to follow.

📍 Save this one for your next trip to Greece.

And if you’d like us to share more of Christos’s favorite recommendations from around Nafplio, leave us a 🇬🇷 in the comments and we’ll turn it into a series.

What comes after a week in France? Another week in France, obviously. 🇫🇷

If you’re already crossing the Atlantic for a week in France, it can be tempting to add something else to the trip.
And we have a pretty good way to do it.

Pair an UnTour with one of our small ship or river cruises.

Spend a week unpacked in one place, getting to know Provence, Alsace or Paris at your own pace, with a comfortable home base and your UnGuide there when you need them. Then unpack again aboard a cruise and see a completely different side of France.

A few combinations we love:
🍷 Provence + the Rhône
Settle into Provence first, then follow the Rhône through southern France.

🏘️ Alsace + the Rhine
Spend a week among Alsace’s vineyards and villages, then continue along the Rhine through France and its neighboring countries.

🥐 Paris + Burgundy
Get to know your corner of Paris for a week, then trade the city for Burgundy’s canals, vineyards and villages.

You get the independence and slower pace of a Classic UnTour, then a different way to keep exploring by water.

Two weeks. Two very different ways of traveling. And two very different perspectives on France. 💚

Which combination would you choose? 👇

🇫🇷 Why would you stay in a hotel in Paris when you could live in the Palais Royal for a week?

Yes, that Palais Royal.

Meet Montpensier, a two-bedroom apartment actually inside one of Paris’s most historic landmarks, directly across from the Louvre.

Once home to Cardinal Richelieu and later connected to French kings and the Bonaparte family, the Palais Royal has been part of Parisian life for centuries.

And for a week, this could be your neighborhood.

Wake up overlooking the Palais Royal gardens and fountain. Wander through the arcades before the day really gets going. Walk across to the Louvre, stroll to the Seine or pick up something good for dinner and come back to your own kitchen.

Then tomorrow?

You get to wake up and do it all over again.

Could you get used to calling the Palais Royal home? 🇫🇷❤️

🇩🇪 Plot twist: you don’t need a car to explore the Rhine Valley.

Stay in the medieval town of Bacharach and you can spend your days hopping between riverside towns, castles, vineyards and villages without getting behind the wheel.

Trains run right along the Rhine, connecting many of the towns you’ll want to explore. And when the train feels a little too ordinary for the day?

Take a boat instead. 🚢

Cruise along the river past steep vineyards and hilltop castles, hop off somewhere that catches your eye, wander for a few hours, then make your way back to Bacharach.

While a rental car is normally included with our German Rhine UnTour, there’s also the possibility of going car-free with a digital German Rail Pass instead. 🚆

And with Bacharach’s train station just an 8-minute walk away and the Rhine boat dock only 5 minutes from your apartment, you might find four wheels are the last thing you need.

Which means you can spend considerably more time looking at the Rhine and considerably less time looking for somewhere to park. 😉

Would you explore the Rhine by train, boat or a bit of both?
