PromoTheRobot Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) Been looking at some packages through Azores Getaways. Off season air and hotel for under $800. Reviews for this company and their trips are mostly good. Asking if anyone here ever went there, especially to Terciera Island. Most of these packages go there. It's a small place and I wonder if you see and do it all in 2 days. Edited October 17, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 My family is from the islands. Faial specifically. Beautiful scenery and great food. Not as much to do as you would find on the main land but certainly enough to fill your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 My Brother just got back from Portugal. Said it was nice. That's the closest I know. Oh... And My Kid's orthodontist was in the Air Force in the Azores. Sorry, can't help. LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty easy going. Siteseeing, eating and just soaking up the local culture is enough for me. The weather is the other thing. Decembers are 60s and wet. That might curtail outdoor activities. Hence bargain vacations. Edited October 17, 2018 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Didn’t Anthony Bourdain do one of his shows in the Azores? You should check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbeau Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Have been twice. The scenery is amazing. Food is fantastic. That's the two big drivers. We've spent a week at a time there and didn't run out of things to do, but we would fit 3-4 islands in a trip. Went both time sin November because of the great deals. Weather can be hit or miss with rain and clouds, but we also had periods of t-shirt weather on both trips. Terciera is cool. Angra do Herismo is a great town to explore. It isn't the nonstop postcard book that some of the other islands are, but the views from center island are amazing. Have to agree with CBF, Failal is probably my favorite, followed by Pico. They don't get as crowded with tourists as Sao Miguel and Terciera. Sao Miguel has amazing views and quite a bit to do, but you will be part of the cavalcade of tourist buses. I recommend it to anyone. You get the incredible volcanic topography of Hawaii with European culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
