Resting on the banks of the tranquil Gilão River, Tavira is a place where time stands still. Steeped in more than 4,000 years of history, its roots can be traced back to the late Bronze Age, making it a haven of historical treasures. The town has journeyed through the ages, buoyed by Phoenician settlers, staking its claim as Balsa under the Romans, to later bearing the traces of Moorish occupation. With each passing age, Tavira has risen, richer, reshaping its identity and infusing its architecture with the overlapping influences of yore.

While still holding close its rich heritage, Tavira has transformed into a picturesque vacation spot. Home to a welcoming populace and about 25,000 residents, the town boasts excellent transport links, with its own railway station and close access to the A22 motorway. Shuttles to the nearest international airports at Faro and Seville make travelling a breeze, while its close ties with its twin towns strewn across Morocco, Poland, Spain, and Cape Verde, strengthens its diverse cultural heritage.

When to visit Tavira

Thanks to its sun-kissed Mediterranean climate, Tavira holds a special allure all year round. However, if you’re keen to soak up the sun, the best time to visit is between June and August. These months herald hot, dry summers, with June typically being the driest. A host of clear and sunny days makes this period perfect not just for lounging around the town, but also for beach adventures.

The town's local beach is accessible either by footbridge or ferry and offers warm sea temperatures that reach 23°C or above from June to October. This makes these months the ideal time to visit to make the most of sand, surf, and sunrays. With holiday deals available from various UK airports all year round, Tavira is your go-to destination for an immersive and memorable Portuguese holiday.
