Flores is a small island, so hitchhiking is quite easy. Many people will drive you straight to your destination, even if they hadn't planned going there. Most roads are in a very good shape, although walking along them can be tiring due to the mountainous landscape. The weather is not very stable, so getting wet while waiting is quite likely. However, [[rain ]] usually doesn't usually last very long. There is no public transport.

Flores can be reached on [[hitchhiking a sailboat|sailing boats]], but it is not a popular destination for sailors. Most people get there by ferry or airplane from the other islands of the Azores. There are no direct connections to mainland [[Portugal]]. See [[Azores#Useful information|useful information]] for tips on saving money when taking a ferry. Ferries to [[Corvo]] and [[Faial]] leave from Lajes, while the airport is located in Santa Cruz. Ferries going to the Central group only run in summer and are sometimes cancelled due to bad weather.
