Lapa de Santa Margarida

Reviewed By ZedDubai - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

It wasn't easy to find it. I followed google maps as much as possible to the road leading to Praia dos Pilotos (and the road is closed in summer right there), then asked a local kiosk who led me to the top of the stairs. Mind you, the decent on stairs takes 10-15 minutes (and you have to go back up), and the path is narrow with long bushes at times. But you literally descend to sea level, and the entrance to the cave is amazing. The church is speechless, especially with the sound of breaking waves right next to you. It's dark, and may be spooky for small children, but magnificent to visit. It's quite a shame that it's polluted with graffiti.

A few minutes from Troia’s central area, travel back in time to the ruins of one of the largest settlements occupied until the 6th century, and the largest fish-salting centre known from the Roman World. Wander about ruins of dwellings, tombs and hot and cold baths built of marble. New remains are being discovered every year, which you can see at the archaeological exhibitions, guided visits and thematic events.
