Is fourteen days enough to tour the whole island at a comfortable pace?
Yes, and fourteen days is roughly where comfortable starts. Our Full Island in 14 Days keeps the Grand Tour arc, then slows it down: two nights in Dublin, three in Killarney, and single nights in Waterford, Kilkenny, Dingle, Galway, Westport, Donegal Town, Derry, Belfast and Drogheda on the way round. The southeast, the Dingle Peninsula and Donegal get proper time instead of a windscreen pass, and no day is built around a long transfer. Comfortable does not mean slow, though. You still move most days, so build in one afternoon with nothing planned.
