General Information

Sao Miguel  Faial  Pico  Sao Jorge  Flores  Terceira
The Azores remain today as they have always been – a chain of lovely tranquil islands where every combination of magnificent scenery and color is
represented. Golden and dark sanded beaches contrast with black lava and blue seas. Green hills, lakes like mirrors, and flowers of every hue abound.
There are secluded coves and rocky cliffs, towering peaks and sheltered valleys; caves, hot springs, volcanoes , underground lakes and a fascinating
sea-bottom teeming with mysteries for the scuba divers.
Sao Miguel is the largest island, known for its lush vegetation, its quiet countryside and the flowering shorelines of its lakes. This island features two
excellent 18 hole golf courses with all modern facilities and is becoming increasingly popular with golf buffs.
Faial features some charming beaches and a shelter for the yachts that regularly call at the island. The world’s famous “Peter’s Sport Café” is a meeting
point for the many sailors calling at the island, and Capelinhos Volcano and its Interpretation Center attract scientists and others interested in volcanology.
Pico houses Portugal’s highest mountain and is also famous for the volcano located on its south-west side. Pico’s “verdelho” wine that grows among
basaltic rocks, earned a great reputation, mainly in the United Kingdom, USA and Russia of the Tzars. The island vineyards have been named a World
Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Sao Jorge is a precious small island with magnificent views provided from its many coastal viewpoints. It is also world wide known for the excellent quality
of its cheese and for the charm of its “Fajas”, (small villages built on flat areas formed at sea level by lava flowing into the ocean).
Flores is famous for its magnificent beauty, it is the most westerly island of Azores and Europe and is inhabited by over 4,000 people. Flores is classified
as a Biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Among the intense green vegetation there are outstanding waterfalls and streams that water a natural garden of
colorful flowers where the pink of the azaleas and hydrangeas stand out.
Terceira has a fascinating historical past. It boasts fortresses, museums and beautiful beaches and caves. Angra do Heroismo is its capital. UNESCO has
declared Angra’s historic center a World Heritage Site.
