Faro
Direct return from Ponta Delgada
Faro, the sunlit capital of Portugal's Algarve, is a relaxed coastal city shaped by its walled old town, lagoon landscapes, and easy access to barrier-island beaches. Explore the cobbled lanes of the Cidade Velha, step through historic gateways such as the Arco da Vila, or take a boat into Ria Formosa Natural Park, where birdlife, salt marshes, and quiet beaches define the scenery. With fresh seafood, a slower pace, and nearby Roman remains at Milreu, Faro makes an appealing gateway to the Algarve.
