If you do depend on public transport to get to Alcoutim, you can do this:
From VILA REAL DE SANTO ANTONIO take the bus that leaves at 5:10 PM from the main bus station (€3,10 one way).
There is a bus going back from Alcoutim at 7:45 AM.
From LISBON take the Expressos bus to BALURCOS (CRUZAMENTO). From there on, however, you have to organize your own transport, as it is still about 7 km to the village. Not really recommended
There is a bus from MERTOLA going to Alcoutim as well.
