Lagos: a wonderful place in the Algarve
Posted on June 12, 2023
Are you planning to go to the Algarve in Portugal? Then you shouldn't miss Lagos! It is a wonderful city with beautiful beaches and many good restaurants. Read on to find out more about Lagos: a wonderful place in the Algarve!
Accommodation
We stayed at the Carvi Beach Hotel which is located at the top of Praia de Dona Ana beach. A beautiful hotel with a swimming pool on the roof. The center is a fifteen-minute walk, so in our opinion it is the perfect place to spend the night!
Beaches
The Algarve is known for its beautiful coastline and the beaches around Lagos are also beautiful. Please note that all beaches are only accessible by stairs as they are located between cliffs. This makes the beaches extra beautiful! Our favorite beaches are Praia de Dona Ana and Praia do Camilo.
Activities
There are also plenty of things to do in and around Lagos! Lagos is a very nice city to walk through. Walk through the narrow streets and discover all the squares, restaurants and shops. You can also walk along the old city walls. You can also kayak along the coast, highly recommended! This way you can see the beautiful beaches from the water and of course there is time to rest on one of those beaches. A visit to the most beautiful part of the Algarve, Ponta da Piedade, should also not be missed! In high season you can take a train from Lagos to Ponta da Piedade, otherwise you can take a taxi. You can find more information about the train here. We walked to Ponta da Piedade from our hotel and saw many beautiful things along the way, so if you have the time we can definitely recommend this.
Restaurants
Plenty of restaurants in Lagos! Our favorite was Casa do Prego. A cozy restaurant with delicious food. The tuna steak is highly recommended! Tasca do Kiko is also a very good restaurant. This restaurant is not in the center, but in the port of Lagos. The Garden restaurant is a very nice place for a snack and drink. And would you like a hamburger? Then go to Nah Nah Bah!
