Tavira, on the Gilão river, is the most elegant town in the Algarve: hipped rooftops, more than twenty churches and a bridge of Roman origin, with miles of unspoilt beach on Tavira Island opposite. Booked with Zonetransfers, a driver holding your name waits at the Faro baggage-reclaim exit to take your party to Tavira, for €37 upwards per car.
The drive heads east on the A22 or the N125 towards Spain; in about 40 minutes you are in Tavira and your driver drops you at your hotel in town, in Cabanas or at the Quatro Águas jetty. That is roughly 44 km and about 35–40 min, with a fixed fare from €37. Zonetransfers confirms the car straight away.
44 km · 35–40 min · from €37 per car · A22 tolls paid.
