A drive further west takes you to the rocky smaller coves and spectacular caves that the Algarve is famous for. For families with children, a trip to the neighbouring water park is sure to be a highlight of their holiday.
If you love shopping, you must find time to visit the beautiful market town of Loule (approximately 20 minutes drive) with its famous indoor market (and outdoor market on Saturdays), selling local produce and beautiful arts and crafts. Faro old town also offers many charming shops and restaurants, located a short walk from the marina, and the Award winning Mar Shopping Centre with Designer Village might mean you need an extra suitcase. Quinta shopping in Quinta do Lago offers multiple designer fashion boutiques with Quinta price tags! Since Palmyra is in the area known as the 'golden triangle' you don't need to travel more than 20-25 minutes to access all of these amenities.
