International telephone calls can be made from almost anywhere in the Algarve. You will find numerous public booths, where you have the choice of using coins, phone cards and sometimes credit cards.


Telephone calls made from bars, restaurants and hotels are usually a great deal more expensive than the street pay booths.
Calls from the Algarve to other EU countries will certainly be quite expensive.


The Post offices are open from 9am to 6 pm and are closed weekends. There you will find telephones, stamps and Express Mail services. Stamps can also be purchased at many shops and in some Hotel receptions.


There are many Internet cafes in the Algarve.
