Portuguese islands in the middle of the
Atlantic |
We feature four islands in the Azores.
THE ARCHIPELAGO
The nine Islands of
the Azores are Europe’s western most point located in the middle of
the Atlantic Ocean. With their blue lakes bordered by flowers,
dazzling views of the sea from high in the hills, and lush green
landscapes of ancient volcanic craters, the islands of the Azores
are a paradise for walkers and nature lovers. We offer the best four
walking islands, São Miguel the largest renowned for its flowers,
green landscapes and scenic lakes. Also the islands of Pico, with
its iconic volcano and whale watching, Faial with its blue hydrangea
hedges and volcanic craters, and São Jorge with steep escarpments
and green pasture land ‘fajãs’. these three are all grouped together
and inter connected by ferry. The Azores are part of Portugal and
therefore in the European Union and the currency is the Euro. The
Azores is popular for the Portuguese in July and August so early
booking for these months is recommended.

TWO & MULTI CENTRE
Why not visit more than one island as each one is different and well
worth a visit? We can arrange a trip taking in more than one island.
If travelling for two weeks we would recommend 5 – 6 nights on São
Miguel and the remaining 8 – 9 nights spread between the three other
islands we feature. We can arrange all inter island journeys whether
by boat or flying. Please contact us for a quotation and we will
advise on the best combination according to your wishes and the
available inter island transport.
