Our road trip through Ireland is not just about places — it’s about presence.
In an 11-day journey across Ireland and Northern Ireland, we’ll travel from sacred valleys to Atlantic cliffs, from soulful cities to timeless countryside — pausing often to breathe, move, and simply be.
Each day begins or closes with moments of reconnection through yoga, breathwork, and stillness — at the hotel, on the bus, or under open skies beside waterfalls, abbeys, and sea cliffs.
We’ll trace Ireland’s story from Newgrange’s ancient stones to Belfast’s creative pulse, walk the Giant’s Causeway, cross into Derry’s walled heart, and wander through Donegal’s wild beauty.
Through Sligo and Connemara, poetry and nature meet — at Kylemore Abbey, still waters mirror inner calm.
We’ll stand at the Cliffs of Moher, journey through Killarney and the Ring of Kerry, and return east through Cork, Cashel, and Kilkenny, before closing our circle in Dublin, where laughter, literature, and life blend into song.
This is not a trip — it’s a mindful pilgrimage through Ireland’s rhythm.
Where every landscape becomes a teacher, every melody a meditation, and every moment a little moment to remember long after the road ends.

COSMORAMA
Our journeys are accompanied by the most experienced tour leaders in the Greek travel industry, with deep knowledge of each destination and genuine care for every traveler. However, in certain cases, your tour leader may meet you directly at the destination, due to the frequency of our group departures.
Your Travel Information Folder — including flight details, hotel information, precise weather conditions, and other practical guidance (such as clothing suggestions, electricity, currency, or special equipment) — is prepared no later than one week before departure and sent electronically to all travelers.
Your Travel Consultant will be available for any questions you may have, and you will receive a printed version of your folder at the airport from our representative or your tour leader.
Please note that our airline seats are part of prepaid group reservations, secured months in advance to guarantee the best possible rates. For such group bookings, tickets are issued 1–2 days before departure, and requests for specific seating (aisle, window, etc.) are passed on to the airlines as special requests but cannot be guaranteed. Most airlines do not allow pre-selection of seats on group tickets and may apply additional charges depending on the route and aircraft occupancy.
For every group trip, we offer free Individual Travel Insurance to all participants, covering specific benefits and conditions. COSMORAMA covers the insurance premium cost on your behalf. However, terms, procedures, and required documentation are determined by the insurance company itself. Any expenses incurred during travel must be initially covered by the traveler, and all relevant receipts, reports, and documentation (in English) should be submitted to the insurance company upon return to Greece.

Our road trip through Ireland is not just about places — it’s about presence. Each day will begin or close with moments of reconnection through yoga, breathwork, and stillness.
We will alternate our practice between gentle yoga sessions at the hotel, mindful movement or breath-work on the bus, and outdoor meditations whenever the weather and rhythm of the day allow — beside waterfalls, cliffs, or open fields that invite silence.
Day 1 — Wednesday, April 8: Athens → Dublin → Belfast
Our Irish adventure begins with a flight to Dublin and a drive north through emerald fields and misty skies toward Belfast. Along the way, we’ll visit Brú na Bóinne & Newgrange Chamber, a sacred site dating back over 5,000 years — one of Europe’s oldest spiritual monuments.
We’ll also visit Hillsborough Castle & Gardens, the royal residence in Northern Ireland, surrounded by graceful parklands and blossoms.
By evening, we arrive in Belfast, check in at Clayton Belfast (or similar), and take a leisurely evening stroll through the city center, where unpretentious pubs meet elegant cocktail bars.
Our journey settles into rhythm with a gentle yoga session at the hotel, inviting rest after the day’s travels.
Day 2 — Thursday, April 9: Belfast
Today, Belfast reveals its modern face — a city reborn through creativity, culture, and courage. Once divided, now united by art and music, it has become one of Europe’s most vibrant hubs.
Our morning city tour includes the City Hall, the graceful River Lagan, the Titanic Quarter, and the stately Belfast Castle perched above the city.
The afternoon is yours to explore: browse artisan shops, sip Irish coffee in cozy cafés, or wander through galleries that once housed shipbuilders’ dreams.
Dinner awaits at a local pub — laughter, live music, and the warmth of Irish hospitality. Overnight at Clayton Belfast (or similar).
Day 3 — Friday, April 10: Belfast → Bushmills → Derry
Leaving Belfast behind, we journey along the rugged northern coast — a land where wind, rock, and sea have danced for centuries.
We’ll pause at the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, suspended high above turquoise waters, then walk among the dramatic basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where geology and myth meet.
We’ll visit the romantic ruins of Dunluce Castle, perched dramatically on the cliffs, and the Old Bushmills Distillery for a guided tour and tasting of three classic Irish malts.
By evening, we reach Derry (Londonderry), a city whose walls hold stories of resilience and hope. Dinner and overnight at City Hotel Derry (or similar).
Day 4 — Saturday, April 11: Derry → Donegal → Sligo
A day woven with wild beauty and folklore.
We travel through Donegal, one of Ireland’s most scenic regions, pausing at the Fanad Head Lighthouse and walking the serene path to Glenevin Waterfall.
In Donegal town, admire the restored castle and perhaps pick up handwoven tweed — a craft as timeless as the land itself.
Upon arrival in Sligo, we’ll visit Sligo Abbey, steeped in poetry and mysticism.
After dinner, the town transforms as we join a guided “Dark Tales Tour”, where local legends and ghost stories come to life.
Overnight at Clayton Hotel Sligo (or similar).
Day 5 — Sunday, April 12: Sligo → Galway (via Connemara / Kylemore Abbey)
Through the landscapes that inspired poet W.B. Yeats, we journey west into Connemara, where mist drapes over heather and lakes shimmer with stillness.
Our destination: the breathtaking Kylemore Abbey and its Victorian Walled Gardens, where time slows among ancient stone and blooming roses.
By evening, we reach Galway, the bohemian heart of Ireland — alive with color, song, and cobbled charm. Dinner at a local pub, followed by free time to wander under the soft glow of street lamps.
Overnight at Clayton Galway (or similar).
Day 6 — Monday, April 13: Galway → Cliffs of Moher → Bunratty → Killarney
Today we stand at the edge of the world. The Cliffs of Moher, stretching eight kilometers and rising 230 meters above the Atlantic, capture the essence of Ireland’s wild soul. We’ll also visit O’Brien’s Tower, offering sweeping ocean views that linger in memory.
Our journey continues to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, where thatched cottages and cobblestone streets recreate life from centuries past.
By evening, we reach Killarney, nestled between mountains and lakes. Dinner and overnight at The Brehon Hotel (or similar).
Day 7 — Tuesday, April 14: Killarney — The Ring of Kerry
An epic circuit of mountains, lakes, and villages, the Ring of Kerry unveils the Ireland of dreams — a landscape shaped by myth and mist.
We’ll pass through Killorglin, Cahersiveen, Sneem, and Moll’s Gap, stopping at Ladies View for breathtaking panoramas of Killarney National Park, home to wild deer and ancient forests.
Dinner and overnight at The Brehon Hotel (or similar).
Day 8 — Wednesday, April 15: Killarney → Cork → Rock of Cashel → Kilkenny
From Killarney, we head east to Cork, Ireland’s spirited southern city, for a short orientation tour through its lively markets, bridges, and cathedrals.
We continue to the Rock of Cashel, a medieval fortress rising from a limestone hill — a symbol of Celtic kings and Christian faith.
Our day ends in Kilkenny, a medieval jewel of stone lanes and storytelling pubs. Dinner and overnight at Kilkenny River Court Hotel (or similar).
Day 9 — Thursday, April 16: Kilkenny → Dublin
Back to the capital, where literature, music, and humor meet.
Our guided city tour includes Trinity College with its illuminated Book of Kells, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin’s historic prison turned museum.
We’ll pause at Phoenix Park, then cross the River Liffey to Temple Bar and the Ha’penny Bridge, where street musicians fill the air with life.
Afternoon at leisure — explore Georgian squares, browse bookshops, or share a toast to the journey so far.
Overnight at Mespil Dublin (or similar).
Day 10 — Friday, April 17: Dublin — Free Day
A day to follow your curiosity. Visit the National Gallery, wander along Grafton Street, or picnic in St. Stephen’s Green as buskers play softly in the background.
The city is yours — to walk, taste, and feel at your own rhythm.
Overnight at Mespil Dublin (or similar).
Day 11 — Saturday, April 18: Dublin → Athens
Our Irish chapter closes with hearts full and senses awakened. After breakfast, transfer to Dublin Airport for your flight home — carrying with you the laughter of the pubs, the whispers of the cliffs, and the stillness of little moments along the road.
