About Ahakista

Ahakista sits where the Sheep's Head Peninsula meets the mainland along Bantry Bay, a small coastal village with sweeping views across to the Caha Mountains. Take the N71 from Cork through Bantry, then the R591 southwest for 15 kilometers along the bay shore. From Kerry, approach via the N70 and N71 through Kenmare. About 7 public fast chargers are available in the broader Bantry area for electric vehicles. The village's tiny stone harbor remains the heart of the place, where traditional fishing boats moor alongside pleasure craft and the morning light on the water has been drawing painters and photographers for generations.
