ATLANTICOLINE

From Velas, direct year-round connections with Pico (Madalena and São Roque). From June to September, Atlanticoline operates an additional route (the white one), linking Velas to Graciosa. To reach the other islands in the central group (Faial all year round and Terceira in summer), you'll need to count on at least one stopover from São Jorge. Ferry journeys are slower than air travel, but allow you to see some magnificent scenery - and even take your car with you! An option to consider if you have the time and inclination to travel differently.
