How to get to Cape Verde
The international airport of the archipelago is the airport Amilcar Cabral and is located on Sal Island a few kilometers from the coast of Santa Maria can be reached with the only paved road Sal.
From there, through charter flights you can reach other islands, with the exception of Brava and Santo Antao, as all have in any case of airports used for internal connections.
Transfers between the islands of Cape Verde
Those who choose to visit more than one island of the archipelago of Cape Verde can move either by sea or by air. All the islands of Cape Verde - with the exception of Brava and Santo Antao - have the airport and in the case of domestic flights travel times do not exceed the time; connections are handled by the national airline TACV, which for these routes also sells combination tickets, less expensive than individual coupons.
Other means of transport through the archipelago is the ferry - cheaper but less comfortable than the plane - whose routes are managed by the National Company of Navigation; it is necessary to remember, however, that in case of bad weather conditions the ferries often not depart and that in any case Ocean waters are never particularly flat.
