Need to get away for a week or two and are looking for a stay on the coastline? Then you should definitely consider the region of Algarve in the south of Portugal.
Algarve stretches along the Mediterranean Sea. It’s considered one of the most beautiful regions of Portugal. Cities and towns you should pay special attention to include Loulé, Albufeira, Lagoa, Vilamoura and Faro, which is the regional center of Algarve and where you’d want to start your trip. You’ll find plenty of ocean resorts along the way if that’s what you’re looking for. But if you want to take it easy in a quiet, more private setting, consider guesthouses. There are many bed and breakfast offerings and lodging is relatively cheap-around $30 per person or even lower, depending on where you are and the time of the year.
But the best way to see this region is by motor travel. In other words, you should definitely plan on renting a car. The benefit of driving is that you can basically see more of the sights than you could with a bus tour, for instance. You can stop whenever you want at scenic spots that you either happen to suddenly come across or read about beforehand. Buses, taxis and trains are certainly available, but I really recommend cruising down the coast at your own pace.
So if you decide to drive you’re going to want to find a car rental Portugal agency. The foremost car rental agency in Algarve is Yor-Car.Com. There are several benefits for using their rental car services. First of all, they charge no fees for making or cancelling a reservation and have no “hidden fees” that are attached to the price. The price that you are quoted by them will be the final cost to you. Furthermore, they offer unlimited road coverage of Portugal, so you can drive all over the country without limitations to mileage. And your car is ready and waiting for you at the airport. Depending on the season, an economy sedan will cost between $105-180 for seven days of travel.
Algarve is lined with beaches, and they are some of the most beautiful ones in Europe. Remember that the low season is between November and March, which is the time you’ll get the best deals on lodging and transportation. The nature and scenery in Algarve are simply spectacular. If you are a lover of the sea, fine foods and easy living, you’re not going to be disappointed by your trip to Portugal for sure.
