Carvoeiro is an old fishing village tucked into a small bay between cliffs, next to Algar Seco and a few kilometres from Praia da Marinha and the Benagil cave. On a Zonetransfers booking, your driver tracks the flight and waits in the Faro arrivals hall to take your party to Carvoeiro, for €42 upwards per car.
The route follows the A22 to the Lagoa exit and drops down to the coast; the last village streets are narrow and steep, and your driver knows the way into the villa estates around it. The distance is near 69 km (55 min at the wheel), with a fixed fare from €42. Zonetransfers emails your voucher with a 24-hour number.
