This is my top pick for places to go in the Algarve, and couldn't resist making a day trip from Faro. The Rio Gilao and its surroundings are lovely and the Ilha da Tavira is perfect for relaxing. Wonderful!

Beautiful town to the east of Faro (most of the tourist resorts are to the west - this is much more authentic). It has lovely architecture and restaurants that are cheaper (but every bit as good) than to the west.

Drive for about 30-40 minutes east (towards Spain!) from Faro.
