Step off the beaten track!
Looking for some new destination untouched by crowds of tourists yet well worth visiting? We’ve got a deal for you! TAP is offering cheap flights from Lisbon, Portugal to Sao Tome and Principe from just €373 for a roundtrip!
Take a trip to Sao Tome & Principe, Africa’s second-smallest country. These two tiny volcanic islands located off the Gabonese coast easily win the hearts of foreigners with their Portuguese-Creole flavour and relaxed vibes. The laid-back tempo is enhanced by a wealth of natural attractions: miles of perfect palm-fringed beaches, emerald rainforest, volcanic peaks and fishing villages. The birdlife is excellent, and endemic plants are plentiful. In season, turtle- and whale-watching opportunities abound. This two-island nation has its cultural gems as well, with a surprising number of heritage buildings dating back to the colonial era, including impressive plantation estates. Definitely well-worth visiting!
