Things To Do
Benagil Caves
Carvoeiro Caves® runs daily boat trips to the Carvoeiro and Benagil sea caves located in the Lagoa coastal area of the Algarve. Many stunning caves dot the coast, including the world-famous Benagil Cave and Praia da Marinha. A boat trip with small boats is the best and safest way to explore them, as these can be well manoeuvred inside the tiniest cavities and rock formations created over the centuries as a result of weathering and erosion. Starting from Carvoeiro Beach, we sail along the coast, passing through intricate natural cliffs of coves and beaches, entering several breathtaking caves, including Algar de Benagil toward the unique landscape of the Arches of Praia da Marinha, classified as one of the 100 most beautiful beaches in the world and one of the 10 most beautiful in Europe!+351

Castelo de Silves
Situated overlooking the town below Silves Castle is considered the best preserved of the Moorish castle in Portugal Silves' red sandstone castle, which dominates the town, was built by the Moors who held the Al-Gharb ( Algarve) region from the 8th to 13th centuries. During this time, Silves (known at the time as Xelb) became an important centre of trading and culture and was the capital of the Al-Gharb. In the late 12th and early 13th centuries the town witnessed sieges, battles and much bloodshed as the Moors and Christians from the north fought over this strategically important site. The Muslims were finally expelled in 1249 and from this time onwards, as the river silted up, closing off trading access to the sea, the town declined in importance.
