What to do and see in Faial Island, Azores: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

February 5, 2022 Agatha Simes

Faial Island (Portuguese pronunciation: [fɐˈjaɫ]), also known in English as Fayal, is a Portuguese island of the Central Group (Portuguese: Grupo Central) of the Azores. The Capelinhos Volcano, the westernmost point of the island, might as well be the westernmost point of Europe, if the Monchique Islet, near Flores Island, is considered part of North America, for it sits on the North American Plate.

Caldeira

Reviewed By telemark - Wildhaus, Switzerland

We did the 360 degree crater rim hike in foggy and stormy weather. Pretty narrow path at times, views of the caldeira and the island are unbelievable. The 8 km hike can easily be done in 2 hours. Our family liked it a lot - and next time we want to descend into the crater!

Praia do Almoxarife

Reviewed By Serenitygardens - Merced, United States

There are several public beaches on Faial Island and all are beautiful. Since the weather is rather mild there are plenty of days to visit the beach and swim or relax on the sand.
