Sunway heads west

SUNWAY HOLIDAYS will charter a new course next summer by operating a weekly charter flight from Dublin to Sao Miquel Island in the Azores.

The Azores, comprising nine islands, are Europe’s most western points. Located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, they’re a four hour air trip from Ireland.

The capital of Sao Miquel, Ponta Delgada, just a short 15 minute hop from the airport, has a variety of shops, bars and restaurants and good quality modern hotels. Just don’t expect the nightlife to be buzzing; therefore it’s a destination more suited for couples or sporting enthusiasts.
