This is a great place for lovers of blue water and sun, but you can also find many other attractions here.
What are the Cape Verde Islands famous for? It’s not just sand and beach
The Cape Verde Islands are the Windward Islands, i.e. the northern islands, which include: Sal, Boa Vista, São Vicente and Santo Antão; as well as the Leeward Islands, i.e. the islands lying in the south, including: Brava, Santiago, Fogo and Maio. It’s not just the picturesque beaches that are worth seeing. It is a paradise for windsurfers, but lovers of trips and sightseeing will also find something for themselves. As a former colony, the Cape Verde Islands offer atmospheric streets where we can eat well and drink local food. They are also famous for their rich nightlife and offer a wide range of clubs and bars. Hiking enthusiasts can climb the highest point of Fogo Island, an almost 2,900 m volcano. It takes about 6 hours to reach the top.
When is the best time to fly to Cape Verde? The best date is fast approaching. That’s when it’s the cheapest
It is better not to go to the islands in August and September, because these are the months when we can encounter rainy weather. The best date is March. Flights are then the cheapest and the average daytime temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius. If we go on our own and not with a travel agency, we must take into account that we will not find a direct connection from Poland, but we can choose a flight with a transfer. When going to the Cape Verde Islands, you also need to remember to move the clock back 2 hours.
