Take a Look!

Just Click on the following Slide Show Links to take a visual tour of our properties or Olhão itself...

Pronounced 'ol-ee-ow', Olhão is a busy modern town with a gem of a waterfront. It has a huge variety of shops and restaurants, and an entire summer festival devoted to seafood. Olhão is very Portuguese, very Algarvian and very un-touristic. The pedestrian shopping area winds via cobbled streets through the moorish Old Town Quarter to the waterfront with its markets (fruit, veg, meat, deli as well as fish), café bars, restaurants, parks and sparkling sea views. From the pier, you can take frequent ferryboats or fast water taxis to the island villages and pristine beaches of Armona, Culatra and Farol - all great day trips. The Ria Formosa Nature Reserve is just outside Olhão - well worth a visit and a chance to spot the very rare symbol of the park, the Purple Galinule.
Olhão highlights...
A mouthwatering choice of Seafood (especially Cataplana), in any of the many seafront restaurants, or bought in the Markets to cook at home.
Relax on the impressive palm lined seafront whilst enjoying a coffee, beer or glass of wine in the many market cafe bars looking out over the sea and lagoon islands .
Seafood festival in August - superb seafood, great entertainment, wonderfully organised - brilliant !
Daytrip by boat to Armona, Farol or Culatra island beaches - you'll nearly have the beach to yourself!.
