The Algarve's sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking the hot nightlife of flashy, energetic
Lagos to those desiring secluded stays in rambling
Sagres. Portugal's most southerly region offers historical attractions in former
Moorish capital Silves and fascinating
Tavira, great golf, fabulous beaches from
Praia da Luz to
Armacao de Pera, thermal springs at
Caldas de Monchique, and miles of limestone caves and grottoes, cliffs and bays along its rugged coastline.
So what makes the
Algarve such a great place? For the hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers from around the world that fly into
Faro Airport or drive or sail from other parts of
Europe each year, it's the promise of sun-drenched days at the beach, sharing in a lovely relaxed and welcoming family-orientated culture and endless options for dining out and things to do, for all ages. Algarve
Holidays have long been thought of as great family holidays and beach holidays and the region has deservedly earned a reputation for golf holidays too. However the Algarve should also be known for its truly unique contrast between the golden coastline and the beautiful rural countryside, its many historic attractions and thousands of species of flora and fauna, making it the perfect holiday destination for interests such as photography, painting, nature watching, walking and other outdoor pursuits.
The Algarve, Portugal, is only a 3 hour flight (or less) from the
United Kingdom,
Ireland and many other parts of Europe and flights arrive to the region's sole international airport, Faro Airport (in central Algarve).
Faro flights arrive daily throughout the year, with several arrivals and departures each day from airlines during the busiest summer months of July to September.
Beliche beach in Sagres - the most south-westerly resort in the Algarve, PortugalThe beautiful sandy beaches are, of course, one of the major attractions for the Algarve (and understandably too, because they are some of the best in the world, with
Blue Flag awards to prove it!) but as our Algarve tourist information shows, this sunny southern region of Portugal offers so much more as well! The fantastic Algarve Weather that delivers dry sunny days for most of the year, makes enjoying outdoor life a way of life. The Algarve is perfect for walking, sightseeing and cycling and for all the sports you can imagine – surfing, golf, tennis, horse riding, kayaking and even extreme sports such as kite surfing, rock climbing and wake boarding.
Families can enjoy water parks, theme parks and zoos, boat trips along the breath-taking coastline (with dinghy rides into the caves and 'grottos' and the opportunity to see dolphins too), crazy golf, karting and many other things to do in the Algarve.
