Activity itinerary

Silves
  • 1h 45m
Silves is a beautiful medieval town. It was the capital of the Algarve during the period of Arab rule and is known for its rich history and cultural heritage. The town is dominated by its impressive red sandstone castle, which was built by the Moors in the 8th century and later fortified by the Christian kings during the Reconquista. Visitors can explore the castle and its walls, which offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The town's narrow, winding streets are lined with whitewashed houses and traditional shops selling local handicrafts and souvenirs. Other notable landmarks include the 13th-century Cathedral. The market is also a must-see.
Ponta do Altar Lighthouse
  • 20m
You will enjoy panoramic views of the Arade River, the fishing boats, and the surrounding landscape. It's a great place to take photos or just relax and take in the scenery.
Algar Seco
  • 45m
Algar Seco is a series of caves, arches, and grottoes that have been sculpted by the sea over millions of years
Carvoeiro
  • 1h
Once, just a typical Algarve fishing village nestled in a valley and flanked by high limestone cliffs, Carvoeiro is now a popular, ever expanding resort town. That said the beach is still the focus of the town and this area retains much of its charm. Whitewashed, terracotta-tiled villas and cottages cling to the cliff sides forming a kind of amphitheatre with all eyes on Carvoeiro's prime asset - the beach.
