Land on the river shore, conquer and discover the medieval castle and town of Silves after making your way up the river Arade.

Silves was once the capital of the Algarve and has a rich history dating back to Roman times.

It is characterized by its whitewashed buildings, narrow winding streets and orange groves. Silves is a popular destination for tourists who want to explore the traditional and historical side of the Algarve away from the busy coastal resorts.

The town also hosts a popular medieval fair every summer, where visitors can experience what life was like in Silves in the Middle Ages.
