Fuzeta
A small, laid-back coastal village in the Algarve's eastern region, with a local atmosphere and authenticity that escape mass tourism. The fishing pier, narrow streets, and traditional cafés give it a simple and genuine charm. From here, boats depart for Ilha da Fuseta, home to one of the most beautiful and tranquil beaches in Ria Formosa.
Olhao
Ilha da Armona
One of the most charming islands in Ria Formosa, accessible by boat from Olhão. The small community of colorful houses by the pier gives way to kilometers of pristine beach on the ocean side. The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious, with a lifestyle dictated by the tides and fishing. The water is crystal clear and the sand so fine it feels like powder.
Olhao
Ascent to São Miguel
A scenic road and elevated viewpoint in the Cerro de Sao Miguel area, near Estoi, offering one of the best panoramas over the Algarve's eastern coast. From the top, you can see the Ria Formosa, the city of Faro, the airport, and the vastness of the barrocal. It's a discreet and poorly marked spot, but it generously rewards those who seek it.
Faro
Estoi
A small locality with much more character than most imagine, Estoi surprises with the magnificent Palace of Estoi, a rococo palace converted into a guesthouse with dream gardens. The central square, the church, and the quiet streets convey the serenity of rural Algarve life. Nearby, the Roman ruins of Milreu complete a visit rich in history and beauty.
