In this article, we will cover the location of the islands, what to expect when travelling to Cape Verde, and some of the things you could do during your stay.
Cape Verde’s Location
Cape Verde is an archipelago, meaning a group of islands, located off the west coast of African countries like Senegal. Located in the Atlantic Ocean, all ten of Cape Verde’s islands are located within a one-hour flight time from each other, making island hopping easy and tourist-friendly.
When travelling from a UK-based airport, you would typically expect to be flying for approximately 6 hours to reach a Cape Verde airport.
Each island, except for Brava, Santa Luzia, and Santa Antao, all have an airport, between which Bestfly Cape Verde flights operate.
