Fly to Cape-Verde from £579 Compare all offers

Known for the barefoot singer, Cesaria Evora, the Cape-Verde archipelago is attracting more and more tourists each year. Why don't you let yourself be tempted? Cape-Verde is a very safe destination for women travelling alone. You will be amazed by the cultural diversity on offer as well as the geographical diversity of the country, of this country located right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Cape-Verde has many sides to it: there's Santiago and its African feel, the wild part of Sao Antao, there is Sao Vicente the festive area or Fogo, the volcanic part of the archipelago which is great to explore. Cap-Verdeans are generally very pleasant people, always smiling and welcoming. The men love flirting but there is rarely anything forceful behind it as long as you let them know that you are not interested. At night, avoid walking around alone in deserted areas. Africa is not far away, and this can be felt through the lack of punctuality of public transport in the area. In the day time, why not make the most of the long waits to get to know the Cape-Verdeans a little better?
