You are warmly invited to attend our wedding in Alvor, Algarve, at Restaurante O Caniço, located at Praia dos Três Irmãos, Alvor, Faro, Portugal.
Restaurante O Caniço is located within the villa/resort, making it easy to reach once you arrive. The resort offers beautiful surroundings, swimming pools, tennis courts, and the beach is just a 5–10 minute walk away.
The nearest airport is Faro Airport (FAO), approximately a 50-minute drive from Alvor. From Faro, we recommend renting a car or taking a taxi/transfer directly to the resort area.
