One of the most important fishing ports in the Algarve. Even today the fishing and excursion boats swing in the harbor - a picturesque scene not only for nostalgic people. The parish church's bell tower offers a particularly attractive view of the winding old town.
Around the middle of August, the Festival do marisco (Shellfish Festival), which is known far beyond the borders of the Algarve, takes place in Olhão. For lovers of marine animals of all kinds, this is a treat in the truest sense of the word. Because where else can you eat your fill of seafood from morning to night? Bom apetite!
