The westernmost island of Europe, Flores is part of the Portuguese Azores and is often overlooked by tourists due to its poor accessibility.
However, Flores is one of the most beautiful places not only in Europe, but in the whole world. The wild and rugged coastline, covered in lush green trees with tall waterfalls like silver ribbons, will delight you.

The west coast of Flores is often compared to the Hawaiian island of Kauai, which is why the island has earned the nickname "the Hawaii of Europe".
You will admire an extraordinarily diverse landscape. During the half-hour drive, you'll pass vast light green pastures, dense dark green cypress groves, low kneeling mountain glades, deep wooded valleys and quaint and beautifully landscaped villages.
