PORTO SANTO

Portuguese island Porto Santo also known as Ilha Dourada (golden island) belongs to the Madeira archipelago in the Atlantic ocean. This island is geographically closer to Africa but still part of the European Union. The official language is Portuguese. The Portuguese consider it to be the seventh world wonder. To enter the country, EU citizens don’t need a visa, only a valid ID or passport. In 2020 the island became a UNESCO biospheric reservation.

Porto Santo is an attractive destination for the families of scuba divers as well. The main attraction of the island is a 9km long sandy beach with therapeutic properties and crystal clear warm water. This year the beach was awarded the title “Best Beach in Europe 2022” by the travel website European Best Destinations. Besides swimming and scuba diving, the island has ideal conditions for stand-up paddling, windsurfing, and boat trips or you can try surfing, horse riding, trips on quads, etc. You cannot miss the windmills, natural pools of Porto das Salemas, tasting of the traditional local specialties, and visiting VIla Baleira where you can find the famous Lambeca ice cream or the museum of Cristoph Columbus who used to live on the island for some time.
