(Cheap) flights to Portugal
The closest airport from Peniche is Lisbon Airport (about 90k). Flights into Porto might be cheaper, but it will take up to 7 hours+ with public transport to get to Peniche. Don´t expect the trip via Porto to be much cheaper by rental car than flying into Lisbon. The highway to is more than €20 per way. With gas prices raining in the most expensive all over Europe the 300k will cost you around €30 even with a small car.
