Corvo is the smallest islands on the Azores. Only about 6 x 4 km. You can go there on a small boat from Flores or by airplane. Approximately 367 people live here. If you already are on Flores, take up the opportunity to go to Corvo. By boat it takes about 75 minutes. By airplane it's only a hair's breath away. I can recommend the boat trip. There is only one very small town. But it's cozy with its narrow streets and charming buildings. In spite of the small size of the island there are about 45-50 cars. One road leads to the top of the volcano, which is only visible in clear weather. There is only one restaurant, situated by the road down to the harbour. If you go to Corvo by boat, be sure to return with the same boat. The weather/sea conditions may not allow the boat to return for several days. The capacity of the boat is only about 20 persons. In summer season the boat leaves Flores 10.00 a.m. and 6.30 p.m., and from Corvo 08.30 a.m. and 5.00.p.m. Then you will see Corvo slowly rice in the horizon. To be sure, ask the tourist office in Santa Cruz for time of departure. It can be hard to find cafe's and supermarket, because of the lack of signs. One cafe is situated almost by the church, and one on Rua das Pedras. Up the road to the crater passing the post office there is a supermarket. The road to the crater is paved and takes about 2-3 hours. It goes up-up-up all the way. It's easy to hitchhike. Then go down again. It's a very beautiful walk. There are only few places to stay, and they are all private. Most people say, that one day is enough to visit Corvo. There is a small campsite situated at the opposite end of the runway.
