In fact, when you look at it more closely, there really isn’t a good enough reason not to take your father away for Father’s Day! Just because Father’s Day is still in June, it does not mean you have to travel then either. You can book something for the off season when it is quieter and cheaper. Booking a year before the day itself really helps, trust me on that. The day that you go away is not important, what is important though is the person that you are with and where you go.

The Algarve

The Algarve is a great location for a golfing holiday and has a wide variety of gold courses on offer, which caters for a wide selection of skill levels. With also having a great climate all year round, you do not only have to limit yourself to coming for Father’s day. You can quite often get some great short break deals to the Algarve, which is perfect for a golfing holiday. As well as some great courses on offer, you also have a wide selection of accommodations available. You can find something for all standards, and bank accounts, in this exquisite part of Portugal. As well as golf, there are lots of other activities on offer:

• Amusement Parks
• Water Sports
• Water Parks
• Sight Seeing
• Relaxing on the Beach or by the Pool

Those are definitely reasons enough for me and my brother to bring father to Algarve. Azazel can go with dad golfing while me and Aaron will surely hit the waterparks as soon as we get those two comfortable.

Accommodation

You will find a wide variety of choice with the accommodation on offer, and it is best to do some research before you commit to staying somewhere. I drew up a short list of hotels that appealed to me due to the location and amenities on offer, and then I got some user reviews of these hotels and resorts from the internet. You will find lots of reviews online which could help influence your final choice.  After looking for  cheap holidays to algarve online, you can find out everything from how close to the nightlife you are *wink* up to the local golf course and other amenities by checking some blogs or even vlogs of first hand experiences. Especially if you are only going for a long weekend, you want to make sure that you are in the most convenient location so that you do not spend a lot of time travelling and figuring things out when you’re around there.

Food and Drink

When you have finished your round of golf and had your fill at the 19th green, there is plenty on offer in the Algarve by way of food and drink. Of course, you will be able to find lots of international cuisine if that is your preference. But there is also a lot of delicious local food on offer. There is of course an abundance of sea food on offer with the mixture or herbs and spices used in Portuguese food. There is plenty to get the taste buds watering. There are plenty of Tapas bars around as well so you can enjoy some of the local food whilst you also drink a cool beer or a nice glass of wine. Why not a sherry? You are in Portugal after all! Whatever your tastes are, you will be able to find plenty of delicious food and drink while you enjoy your visit to Portugal for Father’s day. You can sip away in the warm evening whilst the sun sets out at sea and soak up some of the atmosphere that is generated by all of the friendly locals.

The Algarve is a perfect destination to take your father on his special day, and it is also a great place to visit all year round! You won’t regret making your plans earlier than usual.
