The most beautiful island of the Azores archipelago. Peaceful and quiet, with beautiful nature. Amazing and nice people. Near the airport, two great shops with the best canned tuna, the one by the church has a bigger selection. The island is easy to get around by car, allow more days, at least three, nowhere will be as beautiful. Charming European Hawaii.

This island although small and geographically remote, as it stands midway between Europe and America, is very rewarding. Full of green and volcanic landscapes the island is better explored with a guide - driving a car, in a full long day tour. You will be better if you book the tour in advance, because there are few tour agencies in the island. Also because of the stenuous driving in narrow roads they drive in vans, offering few places. The island offers many possibilities for hiking and you can add a daytrip by boat to the nearby small island of Corvo. But keep in mind that rains a lot and sometimes rough seas make Corvo daytrip impossible.

A unique, beautiful & breathtaking destination. We managed to see the entire island (N to S & E to W) in a hire car in about 4.5 days. Truly amazing!

A must when visiting the azores , unique and picturesque, relatively small and mostly unpopulated, not many grocery stores so plan ahead especially when fresh vegetables and fruits are concerned, many trails to walk on and najestic sea views

The most beautiful place in the whole Europe. Very exotic place. Virgin nature looks like in Hawai or Asia. Very beautiful tours from Lajedo to Fajazinha - Faja Grande, Morro Alto to Faja Grande and also from Faja Grande to Ponta Delgada. It is a big mistake to go around the whole island just by car.

If Eden exists somewhere on the Earth is probably on Flores. Amazing lush of green, endemic plants, rare birds, waterfalls. Flores is awesome. Even Azoreans say that it is the most beautiful island of archipelago. Flores looks like a rainforest, but more safe -> Azores don't have any snakes, poisonous spiders, etc.
