Itinerary suggestions for Lisbon in early August

We will be in Lisbon for 9 days in early August and are in the very early stages of planning our itinerary. I would love suggestions on where we should base ourselves or if we should split our stay between two places? And suggestions of what order to visit places in?

We definitely want to visit Cascais and Sintra and we love hikes, secluded beaches, architecture, good food especially seafood and desserts, and urban exploring. We would strongly prefer not to rent a car. Thank you!

How many nights will you sleep in PT?
If you can fly into Faro and out of Lisbon this would allow you to visit the Algarve and the Lisbon area. A good base would be Lagos or Salema in the Algarve. From Lagos take a direct bus to Lisbon (3h 45m) and spend the rest of your nights there. Both Sintra and Cascais are good day trips from Lisbon.
