Portugal, Algarve
The Algarve is probably the best known part of Portugal and one of the best holiday destinations in the world. Washed in the south and west by the Atlantic and protected in the north by the mountain ranges makes for a mild climate.
Temperatures for the area average 24 degrees in the summer and 15 degrees in the winter, with the sun shining constantly for most of the year. The region benefits from 150km of beaches, along which the warm African wind blows providing endless possibilities for leisure activities such as horse riding, walking, diving, tennis and golf.
Airport
Faro Airport, which is located only 4 kilometers from downtown Faro, has undergone a series of improvements in order to increase the quality of services provided to passengers and simultaneously contribute to development of the Region and of tourism in general.
Passengers using the airport as a gateway to Algarve, will find a modern terminal building with an agreeable, wide and colourful structure, fitting perfectly into the local climate.
Golf
The Algarve, a mere two to three hours flight from most European capitals, has been a magnet to many discerning golfers for almost three decades. Portugal's southernmost province is justly famous for its spectacular scenery along a fabulous coastline.
Add to this 24 beautifully tended golf courses, a friendly climate, a cosmopolitan culture and wholesome regional cooking, all in a compact area steeped in history, and you have the ultimate in year-round golfing destinations.
