Peak season is July and August in Melides, but for months either side you’ll have sunny days and serene beaches.
Getting there
Planes
Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado is the closest airport, about an hour’s drive away.
Trains
Grândola is the closest station serving the region, a 30-minute drive away; trains arrive here direct from Lisbon’s Entrecampos station in just over an hour.
Automobiles
Melides most charming bits are to be found far away from each other; this remote robustness is the bulk of its appeal, but it does mean you’ll need to hire a car.
