How do you get to Sao Jorge Island?

Exactly as for the other islands, also to reach Sao Jorge the most indicated means is the airplane. The airport is located in the vicinity of Velas, and was inaugurated in 1989. Today it is “monopolized” by a single company, the Sata Air Acores, which covers the routes to and from Terceira and Ponta Delgada.

There's plenty of things to do and the geography of the island is very elongated – for some reason it's nicknamed as the sleeping dragon – which I find beautiful! – so getting to places can take longer than expected.
