Traveler advice
Getting around
Uber rides.
An Uber takes around 5-10 minutes to get to the Marina and costs around 5 Euros.
Getting around
Bicycle rentals
You can get around quite easily on bikes, it's fairly flat. Or for the more adventurous you can easily cycle into the mountains.
Plenty of electric bikes are also available.
Getting around
Car hire
We recommend a car, especially if you want to get out and about and explore the Algarve.
