SUN, FUN & SAND IN THE ALGARVE
A HOLIDAY PARADISE
With some of Europe's most beautiful beaches, some of the continent's top golf courses, magnificent cliff scenery, fantastic grottoes, and warm year-round climate, it was inevitable that Algarve, Portugal's southernmost province, would become the country's most popular travel destination. It is a great option for a sunny holiday and Travelnet.ie will help you find the best holiday deals.
Many of the visitors don't leave their resorts to explore more of the country. The reasons are the beaches and views of extraordinary beauty, the year-round sunshine, and its sports and leisure activities. However, there are also historic towns like Faro, Sagres (known as "the end of the world" before the Age of Discovery), and Lagos, all well worth exploring.
The beaches are among the best and cleanest in Europe, with no fewer than thirty of the country's 100-plus European Union "Blue Flag" beaches.
Central Algarve (between Faro and Lagos) can get quite crowded in the summer, but even there, among the villas, hotels, and sports complexes, it is still possible to find vestiges of traditional Portugal in the narrow whitewashed streets and relative peace and quiet in the cove beaches.
It had an important role in the Age of Discovery, when Prince Henry “The Navigator” established a pioneering navigation school in the town of Sagres. The goal was to extend the field of knowledge in cartography and navigation, with ships built in Lagos, from where several expeditions were launched.
Flying into Faro Airport puts the whole region at your fingertips. The best hotels in the Algarve include their own golf course, an activity very popular in this region. If you just want sea and sun, or for others the adventure and nature then keep an eye on our deals for the best sun holidays in the Algarve.
