1. Tour the historic centre of Tavira

If you want to learn more about the Algarve's fantastic historical heritage, this is a good place to do it. To enter the historic centre of the town and stroll through its streets, the best option is to do so through the Porta de Dom Manuel I, which was built in 1520 when Tavira acquired the title of the city, this could be one of the best options if you are staying in a city centre apartment in Algarve. In this way, you'll be near all of these amazing places. The first stop is the church of Misericórdia, probably the most important 16th century monument in the Algarve area. About 40 metres from the church are the Phoenician Ruins of Tavira, and a minute's walk away is the Palácio da Galeria, which houses the town's Municipal Museum.

2. Get to know the hidden gem of Praia da Ilha da Armona

This province has all kinds of beaches, beautiful as the ones you can enjoy from the villas in Carvoeiro, both those with easy access and others that are more hidden. This one, for example, can be reached after a 15-minute boat trip from Olhão. There are no cars here, so free of disturbing noises, and the sounds here are those produced by the waves of the sea and the birds. The coast is shallow, making it easy to walk further out to sea until we reach a cluster of land where we can isolate ourselves even more.

3. Explore the immense Ria Formosa Natural Park

For an option that appeals to nature lovers, this nature park is sure to meet your expectations. This collection of canals, marshes, islands and sandbanks stretches along some 37 miles of the Algarve coastline, roughly from Faro to almost the Spanish border. Thanks to its biodiversity and breathtaking scenery, including fabulous long sandy beaches, it was chosen as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal.

4. Experience the remote Praia do Canavial

There are many excellent beaches in the Algarve, but almost none have the charm of Praia do Canavial. Indeed, if you don't hear about it, you'll probably never find it. It is considered one of the best beaches in Lagos and one of the most unspoilt in the Algarve. That is to say because there are no even lifeguards. It is hidden under some large cliffs, on the small side, and it is accessed by a path that, although it is well-equipped with its corresponding stairs, is not easy to spot. Given the narrowness of the sandy area, it is recommended to visit it only at low tide, and it is a very convenient place if you want to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.

5. Venture to the Benagil Cave

One of the things to do in the Algarve in Portugal is to visit the Benagil cave. It is an impressive cave formed by the force of the wind and the sea, in which there is a huge hole through which the sun penetrates in the central hours of the day. It is accessible by swimming from the neighbouring beach of the same name, by kayak, paddle surf or boat. Likewise, it is advisable to go outside at weekends and as early or as late as possible. This way, you'll avoid the crowds, just as you could do if you consider taking an amazing trip and enjoying the apartments in Alvor.

6. Be dazzled by the beautiful Praia da Barreta

To finish with the fantastic beaches of the Algarve, we have Praia da Barreta, one of the favourite beaches for tourists, even better for those who stay in villas in Algarve. For many it is one of the most stunning beaches, scenically speaking, in the whole of the Algarve. It is located on Ilha Deserta, in Faro, at the southernmost point of mainland Portugal. Its sandy beach stretches for no less than 6.8 miles of coastline, and the only way to reach it is by boat from the Porta Nova pier. It is part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, which separates the marshland area from the sea, and in the 20 minutes it takes to reach it we can see a number of protected birds.

7. Take a stroll through the Faro Cathedral

When visiting this area of the Mediterranean just near the holiday lettings in Algarve, cathedrals are a recurring attraction and in the city of Faro, you will find an incredible one. Built in 1251, it was badly damaged by a fire in 1596 and the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. After its reconstruction a few years later, the cathedral did not undergo many changes and, although it may look sober on the outside, the truth is that inside you can find a valuable artistic ensemble from the 17th and 18th centuries. Admission costs €5 per person and provides access to the cathedral, the museum, a small chapel and the tower.
