The Azores Islands, considered the
last vestiges of the legendary continent of Atlantis, lie 1600 km off mainland Portugal.
The islands are mythically beautiful, with volcanoes, deep blue seas, fields of flowers,
lush vineyards and orchards. Time stands still in this semi-tropical paradise where
agriculture is still the mainstay, and life follows the same unhurried pace it did
centuries ago.
The Azores Islands offer a unique holiday experience… you can spend
the whole day whale watching, trekking up the slopes of volcanoes, or just sitting at a
little cafe filling up on wine and seafood. You can be sure of a relaxing and
unforgettable holiday on these verdant and unblemished Atlantic islands.
