The Algarve region
The Algarve is an ideal base for a relaxing family holiday with its unique culture, stunning landscape, charming people and delicious local cuisine, it is undeniably a destination you will return to year after year.
Right along the Western Coast at the tip of the Algarve is Cape St Vincent and its lighthouse with magnificent views originally thought to be the end of the world. About 40km inland is the Scenic Monchique Mountain range & beautiful old spa town of Cladas de Monchique. Why not visit some of the many local villages and towns where you will be overwhelmed by the genuine welcome bestowed on you by the locals.
The Algarve is famous for its golfing due to its all year round even climate. With over 30 courses in the region to choose from, including some impressive championship courses, you will be spoilt for choice.
Lagos area
Lagos itself is a quaint fishing village with winding cobbled streets full of artisan shops, outdoor restaurants and a lively atmosphere. The cosmopolitan marina offers an assortment of fashionable eateries, shops and cafes to relax and unwind while watching the luxurious yachts in their moorings.
Many people visit the Lagos region solely for its vast expanse of sandy beaches and unique coves. Some of the best in the Algarve are to be found within a short distance from the apartment, including Meia Praia, Dona Ana, Porto de Mos and Luz. From the local beach you will have an array of watersports to choose from.
Nearby Luz is an excellent place to learn to dive with its PADI certificate diving school and is on the edge on of the regions largest Nature reserves Costa Vicentina. For those who love the countryside Horse Riding is nearby.
Lagos also has a cinema with some of the latest films shown in English or visit the Governor's Castle and Old Fortress, Lagos Museum or the old slave market to view art exhibitions. During the summer season there are frequent concerts at the amphitheatre close to the old town walls and the pedestrianised streets of the town centre come alive at night with street entertainers and busy outdoor restaurants.
How to get there
The nearest airport is Faro which is easily acccessible through a large selection of scheduled and low cost charter flights. Lagos is approx a 50 minute drive from Faro on the new A22 motorway.
There are numerous car hire companies to choose from at the airport. You can book directly on arrival in the terminal building or on line in advance. You can also take a taxi directly from the airport to the apartment for approx €90. We would recommend Faro Airport Transfer Service (www.algarvetransfersdirect.com / www.faroairporttaxis.net) as we found them very affordable and reliable.
For the cheaper option you can take a short taxi ride to Faro train station were you can pick up the local train to Lagos and enjoy the spectacular coastal views en route. Alternatively the local buses run approx every hour from Faro and will bring you directly into Lagos bus depot which is only a short walk from the apartment.
