Foz da Ria, Odiaxere

Odiaxere halt which is now closed and in any case would be at lest 1000 metres from the complex.

You would have to take a train to Lagos and then a cab from there the 8km or so to Foz da Ria.

You will be very isolated there without a Car. The complex is situated on a hillside overlooking the Alvor estuary. There is no public transport there. Taxis will be expensive. Shopping will be a real pain.

I live on Meia Praia about 4km away as the fly crows but by road from Lagos its a lot longer.

See this link on Owners Direct for an apartment in the same complex:

It states: " Car hire is essential."

Also have a look at this google map reference which shows where it is:

If you click on Satellite and zoom out using the navigation bar on the left you will see where the site is in relation to Lagos etc.
