Flights from Milan Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport to Cape Verde
Boa Vista
Boa Vista is a remote ocean destination that requires a flight of more than six hours from Bergamo. Aristides Pereira Airport is the island’s only airport and links this corner of Cape Verde to a limited number of destinations, with low availability and services operated mainly by charter airlines such as Neos. For this reason, it is not easy to find either low-cost fares or last-minute deals. The island, however, offers spectacular natural scenery. The Viana Desert features extremely white dunes shaped by Saharan winds, creating an almost lunar landscape. The very long Santa Monica Beach, considered one of the most beautiful in the archipelago, stretches for over twenty kilometers without buildings and offers a powerful, wild turquoise sea. The town of Sal Rei retains a quiet atmosphere with colonial architecture, a small market, and a bay dotted with islets, serving as a starting point for excursions and sea activities.

Sal
The island of Sal is an ocean destination focused on beach tourism and water sports. From Bergamo it takes about six hours of flight to reach Amílcar Cabral Airport, which is Cape Verde’s main airport and serves the entire archipelago thanks to limited but direct international connections. Flight availability remains low, which makes it difficult to find both low-cost offers and last-minute options. Santa Maria, with its long golden beach and the pier bustling with fishermen at dawn, is the best-known tourist hub. The Salinas of Pedra de Lume are located inside a volcanic crater where you can experience a bath in hypersaline waters with a floating effect similar to the Dead Sea. On the southeast coast, Kite Beach is an international reference point for kitesurfing thanks to consistent winds and the presence of a highly renowned school attended also by professional athletes.
