You always see the famous rocky coastline of the Algarve region in travel guides, but only a few tell you about the paradise-like islands close to the border with Spain in the South-East. However, this is a must-go according to me. Hop on the ferry in Olhão (€2,4 per person one-way) and 20 minutes later, you’ll find yourself in paradise. There are different islands to choose from, and my choice went to the island of Armona. It has a tiny village, you can walk along the coastline for hours and there are a handful of authentic restaurants. Perfect for a day out to soak in the sunshine! 🌞 nice to know: this is where the locals go for a day out. Always a good sign.
