Let's talk travel truths.

The travel side of social media can be a little bit deceptive. Okay, A LOT deceptive.

What's real, what's AI. Which reviews are sponsored? Which ones are genuine? And how recently did that person travel to that particular destination?

Who can you trust?

And just because something LOOKS amazing online, how do you know if that's a perfect fit for what you're hoping to get out of your next vacation?

And yes, we get the irony of making a post about not trusting travel content online, BUT, as an award-winning travel agency with so many years of experience between us that we pre-date the Romans (kidding, sort of) we kind of know what we're talking about! 😉

Come chat with a 'human travel library' and we promise your trip will be more fun then doom-scrolling questionable travel content on a Friday night! 😁

Hello 😍

The Algarve, located in the southernmost region of Portugal, stands out for its unique blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. Here are four reasons you might want to send us a "BOOK ME RIGHT NOW' email:

Stunning Coastline: The Algarve is famed for its dramatic coastline featuring golden cliffs that drop into turquoise waters, with magnificent beaches and hidden coves. Iconic spots like Ponta da Piedade offer breathtaking views and are perfect for photography and sightseeing.

Limestone Caves and Grottoes: Numerous sea caves and grottoes add an element of mystery and adventure to the Algarve coast, accessible by boat tours. The Benagil Sea Cave, for instance, is a world-renowned natural wonder where sunbeams illuminate the sandy interior through its open roof.

Historic Towns and Architecture: The region boasts charming towns like Lagos, Tavira, and Faro, which reflect a rich history stretching back to the Romans and Moors. Visitors can explore well-preserved old towns with cobblestone streets, ancient churches, and castles that tell the story of Portugal’s past.

Algarvian Cuisine: The local cuisine is a delight, especially for seafood lovers. The Algarve's dishes are made with fresh local ingredients and include specialties such as cataplana (seafood stew), grilled sardines, and piri-piri chicken. The region is also known for its sweet treats like almond and fig cakes.

**BONUS: Portugal is one of the most affordable European countries!

With the Spring travel season well underway and Summer just around the corner, you may be looking at ways to trim the costs on your upcoming trip. One place you shouldn't be looking to scale back is on travel insurance.

Yes, premiums have increased. Yes, it can make a trip more expensive. But when a single accident could mean the difference between financial ruin of yourself or worse, your family at home when they have to scramble to raise rescue funds, the insurance is always worth the added expense.

And while you may be inclined to rely on your credit card for coverage, you may be overlooking something in the fine print.

Contact a Capri team member today to ensure you have all the coverage you need to protect your investment, your health, and the ones seeing you off on your next adventure.
