Looking out to sea over the town centre, this apartment in the family-
friendly Tavira Garden holiday rental complex is a 10 to 15 minute
walk to the old town -- a car is not essential. There is a large,
well-stocked supermarket ~300m away. Taxis in Tavira are readily
available and relatively inexpensive, within the urban area a taxi
costs about Euro 4,00.
A commuter train runs about once per hour connecting Tavira with Faro
and all of the coastal towns from Villa Real do Sto Antonio in the
east to Sagres in the west. There is a high speed train from Faro to
Lisbon (with a connecting service from Tavira) each morning with a
return in the evening. There are also express buses from Tavira to
Lisbon, Seville, etc, as well as local buses serving the surrounding
inland towns. Fares are very inexpensive.
The Guadiana River valley (~20km from Tavira, this forms the border
between Spain and Portugal) has many well-preserved walled towns which
are well worth a visit; one option is to take a leisurely river cruise
up-river from V R do Sto Antonio with lunch en route.

Coming from Lisbon/Faro or from Spain/Seville on the A22 motorway,
take the one and only Tavira exit. In the exit, take the N270
direction Tavira. After ~4km come to a roundabout on the N125 (the
ordinary road linking Faro to the Spanish border). Here turn left
(east) on the N125 toward Spain (Espanha), Villa Real do Sto Antonio -
- ignore the Tavira signs. After ~1km you come to a tall bridge over
the River Gilao, another ~1km you come to a second roundabout. Approx
500m after this second roundabout (on the left hand side) is the
entrance to Tavira Garden but you cannot turn left. Continue 500m to
the next roundabout and double back to Tavira Garden (opposite the
entrance is a large garden centre, by the way). A map is included in
