If you have booked your Algarve accommodation separately, or are staying with friends, you will still need to sort out getting to where you are staying.

First and foremost you will most likely require a flight we recommend www.flight.co.uk who trawl through the entire flight schedule to find the best option for you. The Algarve is served by Faro airport and it can be reached from all over the UK.

Once you reach Faro Airport the next leg of your journey begins, you can either hire a car or use a transfer service to your resort.

For airport to resort transfer we have used ResortHoppa in the past and would certainly recommend to anyone.

One more essential for your Algarve holiday is travel insurance, this can be single or multi trip and covers you for all manner of emergency. Along with travel insurance its wise to get a European Health Insurance Card which is free to UK citizens and entitles you to reduced-cost, sometimes free, medical treatment that becomes necessary while you’re in a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland.
