Without doubt (and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise) West Cork is the nicest part of Ireland. The stretch of coast from Clonakilty all the way to Castletownbere is stunning. The food and drink is better than anywhere I've been and the scenery is amazing. The last bus from Skibbereen to Cork is a t7.30pm and the town is only starting up then!!!!The public bus from Skibbereen to Cork also takes 2hrs!!! Seaside villages like Glandore, Union Hall Castletownshend, Baltimore, Ballydehob Schull all need to be visited and that is not really possible using the bus. They tend to be the best spots for pubs and restaurants. Also you have some gorgeous off shore islands like Sherkin, Cape Clear and Bere Island that should be visited. Any chance you could hire a car? £20-£30 a day and it will save you money on Taxis.
Another factor is the time of year you are planning to travel. West Cork really comes alive in the summer with festivals etc but can be a bit quiet at winter time.
Cork City is your only option really if you don't have a car. Cork is a great little city for pubs and restaurants but some are only just opening up now again after covid restrictions. Day trips are possible but you really won't get the most out of the trip.
The one thing to be aware of is the money! Ireland is an expensive place to live (Best price pint €5).
If you need any more info just ask me.
