This is one of the most beautiful islands in Europe and it’s only 4.5 hours from NYC! 🏝️🌋🌺 📍 This is the Azores 🇵🇹 Sitting in the middle of the Atlantic are nine volcanic islands so wild and untouched, it feels like you’re stepping into another world. If you’re planning a trip to Europe, the Azores need to be on your list. Think colorful crater lakes, natural hot springs, black-sand beaches, towering cliffs, and waterfalls hidden in the jungle. The best part? It’s only a 4.5 hour flight from NYC and way more affordable than you’d expect. Let me know—would you add the Azores to your Europe bucket list? 🇵🇹🌴 #azoresislands #azores #portugaltravel #PlacesToVisit #europeansummer
