Best Of The East

A journey through fishing traditions and the timeless charm of Eastern Algarve.

Explore three of the Algarve’s most fascinating eastern cities on a journey filled with history, culture, and coastal charm. Begin in Faro, wandering through its beautifully preserved Old Town, enclosed by ancient walls. Pass under the impressive Arco da Vila and stroll the cobbled streets to the Cathedral of Faro, an architectural blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Continue through picturesque alleys and hidden squares, discovering viewpoints overlooking the Ria Formosa.
Next, travel to Olhão, a town deeply rooted in its fishing traditions. Walk along the waterfront, watch colourful boats on the harbour, and visit the famous Olhão Market, rich in fresh seafood and regional flavours. Its distinctive North African-inspired architecture highlights the town’s close connection to the sea.
Finish the tour in Tavira, one of the Algarve’s most charming towns. Cross the Roman Bridge over the Gilão River, explore the remains of Tavira Castle, and visit Santa Maria Church, home to important historical relics from the time of the Portuguese Reconquista. A journey blending heritage, scenery, and authentic local culture.
