Things to do nearby
Discover abundant culture and beauty right on your doorstep in Olhão. Stroll the whitewashed streets to an array of local restaurants, or wander down to the quayside to catch a ferry to the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. Here, barrier islands are fringed by pristine golden-sand beaches and protect calm lagoons, creating a sanctuary for seahorses, flamingos, and more than 200 waterbird species.
Back in town, visit the famous 1915 waterfront market for just-caught seafood and fresh Portuguese produce. Finally, explore the historic fishermen's quarter with its distinctive cubed roof terraces to stock up on fabulous Casa Cubista artisanal pottery. This is the Algarve at its most authentic.
