Diese 6-tägige Tour gibt Ihnen die Gelegenheit, die kleine Stadt Tavira kennenzulernen, eine alte maurische Stadt, die ihren einzigartigen Charakter und ihr Erbe bewahrt hat. Sie können Schichten der Geschichte sehen, von phönizischen Ausgrabungen über islamisch verzierte Türöffnungen bis hin zu Renaissance- und Barockverzierungen. Aber es sind die Farben, die Sie beeindrucken: blendend weiße Mauern, leuchtende Azulejo-Kacheln, feurig-rote Dachpfannen. Sie erstreckt sich entlang des Flusses Gilão, der durch die Eingänge der Lagunen des Naturparks der Ria Formosa ins Meer mündet. Die Insel Tavira hat einen langen Sandstrand und Salinas, die Flamingos, Löffler und andere Stelzvögel anziehen. Im Zentrum bietet die mittelalterliche Burg von Tavira einen Blick auf die Stadt. In der Kirche Santa Maria do Castelo befinden sich die Gräber von 7 Rittern, die von den Mauren getötet wurden.

We suggest visit the beautiful roman bridge. Enjoy this itinerary until the end, and at the end you can see from the street the São João da Barra Fort. The Bridge, once crossed by cars and people, was partially destroyed again by a flood on the 3rd of December 1989, and restored some time later, but now just pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles are allowed. Tavira always managed to maintain its original appearance and yet, evolve in time.
We suggest visit Tavira Castle on the top of the Old Town. Isn’t known when the first castle at this site was built but sources say a fortress was already being rebuilt by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC. The Castle probably dates back to the 11th century. Tavira Castle was a small and rectangular. It now consists of remains of two square towers, one octagonal tower and walls on three sides. None of the towers nowadays possess the characteristics of a keep but there surely had been one. The interior is used as a small garden. You can have a unique view from the walls and towers, of Tavira until the sea. The castle can be visited, for free, during the daytime. Around the old town you can find several parts of towers and walls of the old medieval city walls, but are not open for visit.
We suggest visit “4 Águas” from the Hotel until “4 Águas” you have a walking path between the salt bans where you can see workers taken out the Salt from the reservoirs. On the end of the walk you reach the Tavira pear where you can see a Intersection of waters that come from the hills and mixed in to the river and go to the Ocean. We do suggest to have a drink at the end and enjoy the view. (Very good if you enjoy at the end of the day the sunset).
We suggest visit to the Ria Formosa tour and Lunch in Tavira Island. Visit the natural Park Ria Formosa by boat and afterwards go to the Island where you can have a delicious Regional Lunch in Sal Restaurant and lounge, in the end of the afternoon collect the boat and enjoy your way back to Town in the River Gilão. (Fees apply and we suggest to pre-book at least 2 days before).
