3 Nights – Lisbon
3 Nights – Faial Island (Horta)
4 Nights – São Miguel Island (Ponta Delgada)
* Optional day trip to Pico Island
* Optional extension to stay on Terceira Island
✈️ UK – Lisbon (3 nights): We’ll be there to welcome you from your UK- Lisbon flight, where we’ll transfer you directly to your hotel for the start of your 3-night stay. Against the buttercup yellow backdrop of imperial buildings, gothic churches and sun-drenched squares, Lisbon is a city brimming with bohemian flair and warm tradition. Wander Belém’s cafe-packed streets between the Jerónimos Monastery and landmark Belém Tower, and take in panoramic views from the hilltop-perched Castelo neighbourhood. The main Praça do Comércio square’s live fado music provides the perfect setting to enjoy coffee with a traditional custard pastry, and you can shop (high or low-end) at Alfama flea market or the buzzing Baixa district. Lisbon isn’t complete without riding the iconic Tram 28- handy for the hill setting. If the Lisbon Castle Tour or Santa Justa Lift’s dizzying heights sound up your street, we can arrange it.
✈️ Lisbon – Horta (3 nights): Leaving the metropolitan buzz for a contrast of picture-perfect plateaus, you’ll then fly direct to Horta for your first glimpse of this volcanic island cluster’s staggering beauty. You’ll be staying 3 nights at a hotel of your choice, but the Azores’ nine islands weren’t formed for staying cooped up in your room. Vast fields of Ginger lily stagger bathing pools of natural, hot-spring lava, but there’s equally a wealth of culture and local life to explore. Horta is Faial Island’s main city. There’s the historic centre’s galleries, markets and marina- think imposing waterfront facades fronting delightful restaurants. The Azores are home to a third of the world’s whales, dolphins and porpoises, so don’t miss out on the chance to watch these in the wild. Flat-terrain cycling, hiking and walking tours are all available, as is your chance to opt in for a day trip to Pico’s wineries and vineyards. This is where you decide whether to jet straight to São Miguel Island, or add on the Terceira Island option for the beachfront bars and cobbled charm. Either way, you’ll be all set for the third leg of your trip.
✈️ Horta – São Miguel (4 nights): Whether you’re flying from Horta or the extended Terceira Island option, you’ll be travelling direct to São Miguel’s city of Ponta Delgada for the remaining 4 nights of your holiday. São Miguel is the largest Azores island, but the quaint charm of blue china shops and Graça Market’s pineapple stands haven’t gone anywhere. The culture-rich Jesuit churches here keep the island’s heritage alive, although it’s the getaway feel of the island’s 20 official walking trails and hidden waterfalls that make it a gem. Scenic views, canyoning and lake vistas from the hike up to Hell’s Mouth make São Miguel a natural paradise- enough for the island’s piña colada greenhouse plants to be fooled that they’re in South America. With 4 nights, there’s more than enough opportunity to switch up trail hiking with The Block’s offbeat art exhibits, and trust us, the local cuisine will have you Googling “Portuguese restaurants” when you get home.
✈️ São Miguel – UK: On your final day, we’ll meet you at your hotel and transfer you for your flight back to the UK (for that homecoming cup of tea).

Fifth time of using Eshores. Never been let down when not travelling to just one destination it is very comforting to know everthing is in hand. Wont use anyone else
Michelle, who was our consultant was very attentive very thorough and gave us a number of options to look at. I feel confident that this trip of a lifetime will go to plan. Michelle consistently came back to us with updates as when required and she did what she said she was going to do.…
The lady was really helpful and informative. She responded to our enquiry very quickly and provided us with a detailed quotation, including everything we asked for.

I was very dubious at first with using an unknown travel provider. I can only thank Mathew my go to for all his help. We had a fantastic holiday to Morroco. All our needs were met with prompt action. Thank you very much for your diligence. Very easy to contact this provider every step of…
It was a pleasure dealing with Hanna, she was so quick answering any questions we had and phoned us when when she said she would.

We have used Eshores on many occasions over the years especially when booking long haul holidays. They are so friendly, helpful and knowledgable , nothing is to much trouble. Would highly recommend them especially Dave.
Great service from Rob, super helpful and patient, came back with many quotes for me. Really listened to what I wanted unlike other companies also very comparable on price and worked out cheaper than me doing it myself. I would definitely recommend and would use again (although I haven't been on the holiday yet!!)
First time we have used eShores. Michelle Porter was exceptional with her knowledge and recommendations. We were given several options to consider and all our needs and expectations were met and exceeded. First class service. Would definitely recommend Michelle/eShores and they will be our first contact when looking at future holidays.
Fantastic Holiday in Singapore and Thailand. Epic trp to Singapore, Chiang Mai, Bangkok and the wonderful Koh Lanta. Thanks to Anna King who arranged our holiday. 10/10!
First time we have use Eshore & very impress with how professional Kadie was with quoting on a holiday package.
Dave helped me secure the holiday I wanted, within the specified budget. In fact, I ended up with an extra couple of nights, which is a bonus. His emails were prompt and he was a joy to speak to on the phone. Would highly recommend eShores.
Our 4th trip using Eshores has just been booked. Andy was super efficient in making sure all our requirements were met. Would highly recommend this excellent company
Very helpful, knowledgeable and happy to suggest various options.
