🏝️ Armona Island

Armona Island is one of many islands of Algarve, Portugal. Armona is 9 kilometres (6 mi) in length, and from 0.1 to 1 km wide. It is accessible by regular 20-minute ferry trips or even quicker water taxi from the waterfront in Olhão. The island is populated with a large number of beach houses and 5 cafe bars. The main beach on the Atlantic side of the island is pristine and uncrowded, making it a popular daytrip destination for tourists staying in Olhão itself. The port is a very popular place in the summer when the locals and holiday makers dive / jump off it into the sea.
