    37. Ferry and Cruise Services Blasket Island Boatmen Ltd. The most Westerly Island in Europe, no similar sized community in any part of the world has produced such a wealth of great literature. Abandoned in 1953 after 1000's of years of inhabitation, life has stood still, no phone no television, no cars, only the sound of the sea and the gulls, unspoilt beaches, extraordinary bird life and a uniquely peaceful atmosphere. We recommend that you come early, visit the houses of the famous writers, swim on the magnificent white strand or walk back the four miles to the west of the island.
