General Information and Getting There

The Algarve is a hilly region that contains a number of cities and villages, the capital city of the region is Faro, the city has a population of just over 400,000 and this increases to a million during the tourist season. Visitors are attracted to the area for many reasons, not least of these being the Mediterranean climate (where temperatures can reach a high of 31%) and beautiful beaches of the Algarve.

Portugal has been popular with the British since the 1960s when the first cheap flights and holidays became available. Getting to the Algarve is relatively easy and it is possible to get cheap flights from a number of major airports in the UK all year round. The flight takes about 3 hours to reach the Faro International Airport, which is the airport serving the Algarve region. Most package tours will also include transfer to your resort, hotel or apartments and if you are not on a package then it is very easy to hire a car or pre-book transfers, ready for when you arrive.
