Great experience near Faro - Great experience! 1.Island totally natural and empty, just a little too little time to look at everything better.
The 2nd island was more inhabited and surrounded by many beautiful plants.
The 3rd island had a lot to offer and also a super beautiful and almost deserted beach to offer.
Furthermore, we received a lot of great information during the boat tour.
Thanks to Captain John for the great experience and also great information!
