Why You Should, And Should Not, Go On Holidays To The Azores

I love going on holidays to the Azores. But I don't go there every single vacation. It depends on what I am looking for in my vacation.

You are reading this site wondering if you should spend your hard earned dollars on an Azores vacation. So I thought I would share the reasons that you should, and should not, take a vacation to the Azores.

Why You Should Go On Holidays To The Azores

• You want to go somewhere unique, remote and beautiful
• You want a chance for some peace and some quiet meditation
• You love seeing the ocean
• The idea of seeing current geo thermal activity and old volcanic activity (ie lava tubes, lava rock, craters) is of interest
• You want to try some of the best Dolphin and Whale Watching in the world (summer months are best)
• an "old world" atmosphere is appealing to you (ie little villages with cobblestone streets, seeing the farm life)
• You like wine and cheese (at a great price)
• You like seafood at a great price(there are other options too)
• you want to go hiking or birdwatching
• Lush green scenery and a flower covered landscape interests you
• You want to go sailing or deep sea fishing
• Exploring little villages sounds good
• You want to go SCUBA diving
• You have a sense of adventure and like to explore new spots
• Every day is a good day for golf
• You are not in a hurry - the Azoreans live a slower paced life than I am accustomed to

Why You Should Not Go On Holidays To The Azores

• You are looking for a heat wave so you can soak up the sun (this is not the Caribbean and only the summer months get hot)
• You want a lot of commercial places to visit (i.e. a high end mall)
• You can't afford a rental car. A car is essential to see the Islands - unless you plan to hike, bicycle, rely on buses, or stay in one of the more populous cities
• You want to go night clubbing in a high end club
• You don't like any rain or fog while on vacation - there is almost always some rainy or foggy weather on the Azores
• You are looking for an all inclusive resort experience
