THE ALGARVE
WONDERFUL ALGARVE
THE BLUE-SKY COAST AND BEACH
Whether summer or winter, the blue sky, abundant sun, and the wonderful coast mark the Algarve! Seasoned with a fabulous climate and little rain, this region is the main beach destination in Portugal and the most sought after for sun and sea holidays.
However, its cities and towns, both on the coast and in the interior, reflect a heritage and cultural legacy of many centuries, villages where time has stood still and where old and new coexist in harmony, mountains that invite you to walk along trails of several kilometers, parks and nature reserves where fauna and fauna thank you for their preservation, The fishing economy, its gastronomy linked to the sea, its people with the friendliness and joy in welcoming tourists make this region a unique land and always invites you to return!
Ecotourism and Nature Tourism are our focus. However, one of the Algarve’s best-kept secrets is the Ria Formosa. In this way, Islands 4 You, always aware of the preservation of this protected area, will be happy to show you and take you to an unforgettable experience in one of the 7 natural wonders of Portugal!
THE CAPITAL OF THE ALGARVE - FARO
In the heart of the Ria Formosa we find Faro, the capital of the Algarve and the gateway to the south of Portugal. Situated on the coast, this destination is blessed with a wealth of culture and a stunning location.
One of the main points to visit in Faro is the old town. It is a historic legacy that is a small neighborhood inside the castle and easily recognized by its huge wall. A place with a lot of history and culture, where there are numerous attractions such as the Arco da Vila, the Municipal Museum whose convent setting only adds to its fascination, the Catedral da Sé and its splendid tower that provides a sensational view of the city and the Ria Formosa, and the various restaurants of regional cuisine that are scattered within this fascinating village where tourists can relax and enjoy the scenery.
Therefore, the connection with the Ria Formosa makes the city have a busy and colorful port. From the marina, fishing boats and pleasure craft ply the narrow channels that wind towards the open sea, passing through dense marshes, deserted islets, and islands along the coast. The Ria wetlands are among the most important natural habitats in Europe and attract a variety of seabirds and other wildlife.
