A flydrive holiday gives you so much more
flexibility to drive around in your own time - to stop and wonder at the
scenery as and when you please - to pull in for refreshment when you
discover a local cafe or restaurant. In the Azores, distances are
relatively short and the majority of roads are good - there are some
hairpin bends and one or two roads are precipitous. If you wish you can
upgrade your vehicle for a modest supplement so that you have a little
more comfort while touring.
The price is based on the DIRECT flight
operating on Tuesdays from Gatwick to Ponta Delgada with a group B
car available for collection at the arrival airport for two persons for
7 days and includes insurance cover.
Prices for departure in April 2005 from £595 per person So take to the road and explore the Azores
by car!
