Kayak and Hike Adventure in Algarve
Details
Begin your day with a kayak activity that explores some of the pale cliffs framing the Algarve's renowned shoreline. Millions of years of erosion have created limestone formations that contrast beautifully with the area's glittering teal waters, so be sure to keep your camera handy as you paddle near breathtaking grottoes, imposing boulders and natural arches.
Lunch today is on your own in Lagos. Take some time to wander along the waterfront and walk through the historic Old Town as you look for a restaurant that strikes your fancy. Along the way, you may want to check out Ponta de Bandeira, a 17th-century fortress, or the 18th-century Church of Saint Anthony, a small but ornate structure with Baroque features and a gilded interior. Lagos is also an excellent place to shop for souvenirs and beach-inspired goods to bring home to your friends and family.
After lunch, hike along the boardwalk in Lagos for stunning coastal views. This area is often referred to as Costa de Ouro, or "The Golden Coast." As you follow a wooden footpath surrounded by captivating gold-sand beaches and honey-hued cliffs, the reason for the nickname becomes clear. The trail leads to amazing views of the photogenic Ponta da Piedade—a striking set of triangular-shaped cliff formations jutting out of the sea.
