Silves Holiday Deals

From £118 per person

Silves is the ancient capital of the Algarve and has a very rich history to explore. It was a major defensive stronghold with boats sailing along the Arade River and crossing into North Africa. Despite its bustling history, Silves is now a laid-back and peaceful resort that is perfect for unwinding in its beautiful climate. We recommend Silves to travellers of all ages and backgrounds.

The best time to visit this resort is definitely the summer period as there isn’t as much to do when the temperatures start to cool down in the winter months. Temperatures tend to reach the high 20s and even into the low 30s throughout the summer months whilst the period between autumn to spring drops to the low teens. Although the town is much quieter during the cooler months, this could be ideal if you are only travelling to see the historic landmarks of this place.

There are a number of great things to do in Silves and quite a lot of them involve diving deep into the region’s fascinating history. Simply wandering around the town you will find everything from its grand red-brick castle, its poignant Gothic cathedral and its fortified town walls. Away from the landmarks, Silves provides a very laid-back atmosphere with its cobbled streets and open-air cafes, all of which make it a true joy to be a part of.

Because the resort leans quite heavily on its traditions, you won’t find any super-modern, 5-star hotels here. However, what you will find are some splendid and very affordable accommodation options including guest houses and holiday homes in the surrounding countryside. The same is true for the dining scene in Silves, with many family-run establishments serving up traditional and delicious Portugese dishes.
