This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service (£60 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
Aveiro was pleasant for a short break but don't go in April. It rained persistently for two days with howling winds - not good for cycling. We had one good day which was delightful. Highlights would be cycling along the coast from Furadouro and enjoying the scenery, really fresh fish in the restaurants and fabulous cake!
It is unfortunate that this April was both wetter and windier than usual on the Atlantic coast of Portugal.
The food was delicious, especially at Bronze in Costa Nova. The route was mainly cobbled or bumpy paths so was a bit wearing on the bottom.
Pace yourself! We set off far too fast on day one and didn't stop nearly enough. Subsequent days we stopped more and just enjoyed the view. Cycling through pine forests with glimpses of sea was absolutely heavenly. You really get immersed in your surroundings on a bike - it will be a long time before I forget the wonderful smell of pine and rosemary. Routes were carefully chosen and easy to follow - the cycle paths in Portugal are so good. Cobbled roads tested our padding but were an experience! We thought the choice of hotels was inspired; each one very different but all excellent. Eating out, Biscoito was definitely a highlight, as was Jimao. Oh and did we say we loved the tram ride in Porto?
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers added a stay in Porto after their short cycling break Aveiro – Portugal’s ‘Little Venice’

Corsica was the highlight. We enjoyed everything that we did. We will definitely contact you for future holidays. We thought the holidays were really good value for the price.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our Contrasts of Corsica walking holiday with the short break cycling trip Aveiro - Portugal's 'Little Venice', and the short break Porto & The Douro Valley
