Hotels in Azores, Portugal

The Azores are a volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, belonging to Portugal. With mild temperatures year-round (60s°F / 15-20°C in winter, 70s°F / 20-25°C in summer), you can hike the green caldera of Sete Cidades in June or soak in the geothermal pools of Furnas during the rainy winter months. During summer, take a whale-watching boat from Faial's Horta harbor-blue whales pass by in May-while cooler months let you explore the 16th-century fort in Angra do Heroísmo on Terceira without the crowds.
