Transport options
Car hire: essential for most property viewings. All major rental companies operate from main airports. Book in advance during summer.
Transfers: private transfers from the airport to any location can be pre-booked. Typical cost: EUR 30-80 depending on distance.
Train: the Algarve rail line runs from Lagos to Vila Real de Santo Antonio via Faro, with stops at most coastal towns. Useful but infrequent (roughly hourly).
Bus: regional bus services connect all municipalities. Coverage is better on the coast than inland.
For rental investors: properties within 30 minutes of the nearest airport consistently achieve higher occupancy rates. Guests arriving on short breaks (3-5 nights) are less willing to drive over an hour from the airport. Consider airport proximity as a factor in your rental yield projections.
