The Atlantic’s Garden
Flores is a most beautiful island, 17 km long, 12.5 km at its widest and with a total area of 143 sq. km. The highest point (Morro Alto) reaches 914 m and the central plateau averages 500 m to 600 m. At the westernmost extremity of Europe, Flores is difficult to reach in winter when it bears the brunt of the Atlantic gales.
This island is spectacular, with craggy cliffs, a multitude of lakes and craters, high waterfalls, small pastures bordered by mile after mile of hydrangea hedges, stunning views and shades of green as you’ve never seen before.
Take a 3.5 hour boat trip around the island; tour the island by hire car or taxi, dive, whale-watch, visit neighbouring Corvo (approximately 45 minutes by a rigid hull inflatable boat depending on ocean conditions) or just walk.
Corvo across the water, is the remotest and tiniest of the islands, being 6.5 km long and 4 km wide. There is one tiny settlement – Vila Nova do Corvo and, six kilometres uphill from the village, is the vast (300m deep and 2 km wide) green, volcanic crater, reached on a wonderful walk which affords views of green pastures, the oceans and Flores across the water.
