Ilhavo is an ancient town that was originally founded by the Greeks on their trek to explore the unknown world. The town is located just south of Aveiro, located on the Vouga River. The local Sea Museum has kept centuries of history and artifacts from the area since the Greeks founded the popular fishing town. The local church was built in 1785 and is dedicated to Saint Salvador, whom the faithful see as the Lord of Sea Navigation. An old porcelain factory still operates and offers people a place to learn about the factory, and it has shops and tours available. Of course, there are also beautiful white sand beaches for relaxation. Ilhavo is only 2 ½ hours away from Lisbon. Ilhavo
