ABOUT LAGOS
One of the most popular towns in the Algarve, Lagos is a top holiday destination and has it all! From history to culture, beaches and climate to a lively, easygoing and friendly atmosphere all year round. Steeped in history it was from here that Henry the navigator set sail on his discoveries along with many other Portuguese explorers.

A walk across the Marina footbridge will lead you into the heart of the old town where you will find a very quaint typical Portuguese town with narrow cobbled streets and many shops, bars and restaurants and entertainment. Here you can experience the raw authenticity of Portugal, the daily fish market, the local Tasca, the smell of grilled sardines and seafood toasting on the grill, tiled houses, the clear blue skies and the warm hospitable people.

There are many places of interest to visit such as museums, churches, historical monuments and a mini-zoo for the children. Activities are endless in and around Lagos and include boat trips, dolphin tours, fishing, surfing, diving, kayaking, golf and much more. Lagos is also very popular for hiking and walking trips. Two premium golf courses with minutes drive from the apartment.

CLIMATE
The Algarve, situated on the extreme South of Portugal, offers gorgeous sandy beaches and glorious sunshine nearly all year-round. With around 300 days of sunshine a year and idyllic temperatures averaging 14ºC in winter and 25ºC in summer - and rarely going below 10ºC during winter and reaching as high as 28ºC or 30ºC in July and August.

Encosta da Marina apartment
My wife & I spent 6 nights here in early July, 2019. Awesome apartment & area. Carla met us on site and we did quick review of the apartment, amenities, tours, attractions, etc. Carla did a wonderful job of sharing all relevant information for the area and surrounding attractions. Apartment was the best we stayed at over our 17 days in Portugal and Spain. Proximity to marina, beaches, and town centre is excellent. The ability to access on site communal pool was a blessing. Loved it. We like walking and went everywhere with no issues. Lagos itself is a great place to visit. Thanks! Dean & Kathy - Canada
