Package holiday to Alentejo

The Alentejo stretches over a third of Portugal's land area and is yet the least populated region of the country — a vast land of golden wheat fields, ancient cork and olive groves, endless horizons, and a silence that is balm for the soul. Here, time ticks more slowly, and visitors find a Portugal that has disappeared elsewhere.

The capital Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the cultural heart of the region with a Roman temple, a Gothic cathedral, and the famous Chapel of Bones. But the Alentejo extends far beyond that: The marble towns of Estremoz and Vila Viçosa literally shine, Monsaraz perches as a medieval picture-book village above the Alqueva reservoir — Europe's largest artificial lake — and Mertola enchants with its Moorish old town.

The Alentejo is Portugal's culinary treasure trove: Black pig (Porco Preto) from acorn-fed livestock, handmade sheep cheese, Alentejo bread with coriander and garlic (Açorda), and top-quality wines from emerging wine regions shape the table. The Alentejo coast (Costa Vicentina) offers wild, unspoiled beaches and dramatic cliffs. In spring, wildflowers transform the landscape into a sea of purple and yellow blooms. The region is perfect for road trips, wine journeys, and for those seeking authentic Portugal away from tourist paths.

Alentejo particularly impresses with breathtaking nature, excellent cuisine, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
