Distances

The Azores archipelago is made up of three groups of islands: Flores and Corvo in the western group; Graciosa, Terceira, Sao Jorge, Pico, and Faial in the central group; and Sao Miguel and Santa Maria in the eastern group. We recommend air travel to get from island to island, however there is a ferry service running between the islands of the central and western groups.
