Museu Municipal de Faro

posted by ptripp on 28 October 2010 at 15:56

Not a huge place but really interesting. The artefects are great and give a good history into the past of the region, particularly liked the mosaics as well as all the roman stuff. It's set in an old convent so the building are also a sight.

Praca Afonso III, look for the statue with the huge crucifix!

Ilha de Baretta

This is the closest beach to Faro and it's always been quite quiet when i've visited. A lovely peaceful place with warm wter and nice sand, but not many amenities there so make sure you take everything you need for the day.

take the boat from the porta nova pier

White Water Rafting

posted by deisenhart on 28 October 2010 at 15:30

Me and my mates had an ace time white water rafting, although it was a bit terrifying when one of the guys fell in! the river takes you though some stunning places and the guys running it are great.

Dalaman River, west of the town
