Azores Holiday Flores Experience – 7 nights
Probably the most beautiful island in the archipelago. You need several days here just to appreciate the extraordinary beauty and tranquillity of this island. During your week, you’ll spend a full day exploring the island by jeep with our guide – anything he doesn’t know about Flores isn’t worth knowing! We have also included a day trip over to Corvo and a self guided walk along the spectacular west coast.
