Transport:
Lagos can be reached easily from Faro airport in around 45 minutes by the new motorway extension which opened in May 2003. We recommend a car as this will allow you to explore the many areas of local interest. However, Lagos can also be reached by train from Faro the station at Faro being only a 10 minute taxi ride away. (cost approx. £7). The apartment is less than 10 minutes walk from Lagos station.
Alternatively, Lagos can also be reached from Lisbon airport (around a 3 hour drive).
Golf:
The Algarve features many spectacular golf courses and most of them are within a 1 hour drive. Locally to Lagos there are 5 courses to choose from - the championship Penina course, Palmares with its spectacular views and combination of links and forest holes, the new and challenging Boa Vista course, the Alto course at Alvor, and, further to the west, the hilly and more rugged Parque da Floresta course.
Beaches:
There are many beaches in the Western Algarve ranging from vast expanses of sand to small rocky coves. The main beach Meia Praia is 4 miles of sand which spans the bay between Alvor and Lagos and is less than 1 km from the apartment. Smaller rocky coves can be found in the town and all along the coast up to Sagres which at the western most tip of the Algarve.
