Make the Journey Part of Your Holiday

Travellers arriving earlier in the day can transform their airport transfer into a relaxed introduction to the Algarve.

For this journey, we recommend:

Lagos · Silves

An additional coastal detour through Carvoeiro can also be arranged when sufficient time is available.

Which Sightseeing Stops Can Be Combined?

The amount of sightseeing that makes sense depends on your flight arrival time and how you feel after travelling.

Strong options include:

  • Lagos only for a historic town and coastal scenery.
  • Silves only for castle history and Moorish heritage.
  • Carvoeiro only for a relaxed coastal detour.
  • Silves + Lagos for a strong combination of historic inland Algarve and coastal western Algarve.
  • Carvoeiro + Lagos for travellers primarily interested in coastal scenery.
  • Carvoeiro + Silves for coastline followed by Portuguese history.

For most travellers arriving by air, one sightseeing stop is the most comfortable option.

Two stops can work particularly well for passengers arriving early in the morning and travelling with a flexible schedule.
