Portugal Islands



Portugal Islands are usually verdant green paradises which have been transformed into modern "Eden"s by human activity. Islands of Portugal allow enjoyment of the songs of birds almost all year round amidst the smell of exotic flowers and sounds of tinkling, gurgling water cascades and enjoy the best that Portuguese cuisine has to offer. The accommodations on the islands in Portugal are comparable to the best in the world and provide world class service. These islands are the gems in the crown of Portugal.

The islands of Portugal can be divided into 10 major and two minor categories such as:
  • Algarve Islands
  • Azores Islands
  • Berlengas
  • Ribatejo Islands
  • Beira Litoral Islands
  • Beira Baixa Islands
  • Minho Islands
  • Alentejo Islands
  • Estremadura Islands
  • Madeira Islands with its two sub divisions Savage Islands and Desertas Islands
Each of these divisions are basically archipelagos containing several similar islands in them. Mythological hypothesis has declared the archipelagos distributed across the Atlantic as the sole remainders of the doomed continent of Atlantis. Replete with natural marvels and imposing scenery, these bountiful islands truly seem like piece of a long-lost bewitching world. The dancing dolphins and whales, the exquisitely rich vegetation, perfectly formed coves and lagoons and sky scraping volcanoes make the tourist feel euphoric and elated enough to consider this a dream come true.

The tourism infrastructure here being geared up to provide the best to every guest, it is no wonder that it is one of the most popular tourist spots in all of Portugal. The beauty and the human activity to preserve them in their natural way have created an unique sustainable and interdependent tourism in Portugal Islands. Azores Islands
