Tavira is one of the most architecturally attractive towns in the Algarve and its origin dates back to around 2000 BC. During the occupation of the Algarve by the Moors this town was considered of great importance due to its fishing industry. There are golf courses at Benamor and Colina verde which lie just outside of Tavira. Within a few minuites walk there is a recently opened bowling alley with a large bar, dancefloor, excellent sound system and 2 outside seating areas.
The nearby island of Tavira has 11 km of some of the finest beaches in the region, it forms part of the Ria Formosa nature reserve and popular among bird-watchers. It is also great for swimming. There are also bars and restaraunts on the attractive island which is a short, pleasant ferry journey (cost Euro 1.90) only 2mins from the house. Alternatively, a 20 minute pleasant walk past the salt pans will bring you to a shorter crossing point to the sandy island.
