Killybegs

Killybegs, also known as Na Cealla Beaga in Irish, is a charming port town nestled along the rugged coastline of County Donegal.  As the largest fishing port in Ireland, Killybegs plays a vital role, connecting the country to the wider world.  History buffs will appreciate the town's long maritime legacy, evident in its very name - Na Cealla Beaga translates to "little cells," referencing early monastic settlements.
