A cheaper and interesting option is to choose public transports.

The train from Faro to Lagos is a slow regional service with a journey time of 1 hour 40 minutes, while the bus is no faster with numerous stops. A single train ticket from Faro to Lagos costs €7.30, with the bus ticket being slightly cheaper. Train tickets must be purchased from the ticket office before boarding the train. These tickets cannot be pre-booked, but in general there are no problems regarding the availability of seats..

For evening or late flight arrivals, always pre-book a transfer. You may consider it convenient spending a night in Faro,.

Most people will take a taxi from the airport into the city. This will cost about €10 and take about ten minutes.
Buses are also operated, rather irregularly, between Faro airport and Faro city centre. The bus stop at the airport is right outside the arrivals area. The journey takes about 15 minutes and the bus stops at both Faro railway station and the bus station. There is no other scheduled public transport at the airport. For all other destinations, it is necessary to go the city centre and the railway or bus stations as required.

From Lisbon:

To get to Lagos from Lisbon, you could take the train or bus.

To take the train, you could buy the intercity ticket, leaving from Entrecampos station in Lisbon, get off in Tunes, a few stops before Faro and then change to the regional train to Lagos. The schedules are timed so that you only have to wait a few minutes.

To take the bus, there are 2 bus companies, EVA and Rede Expressos, running several times every day from Lisbon to Lagos and other cities in the Algarve, and vice versa. The trip Lisbon - Lagos is about 4 hours, on a nice and comfortable pullman and you do not have to change the bus on the way.

You can buy a ticket online from these companies' website or in Oriente bus station or Sete Rios bus station where the buses leave from. (They have separate bus station next to the public bus station in Sete Rios so make sure you do not confuse the stations!). Roundtrip bus ticket costs 36 euros (EVA) or 35 euros (Rede Expressos) with discount for students, junior and older people.
