For many years I have been hearing about the wonders of the Sardinian sea.
This year I decided that I want to see it for myself.
On 5 August we leave for Sardinia.
At 8.00 in the morning we leave Livorno, destination Golfo Aranci in the north-eastern part of Sardinia.
After 6 hours of crossing, in the early afternoon we reach the island and we immediately realize that it will be
a different holiday from all those made up to now.
In half an hour by car we cross Olbia and reach Porto Istana where we have rented an apartment.
The following days will all be dedicated to the discovery, the search for the more or less known corners of this part of Sardinia.
Among the most significant places we have visited I want to point out:
The village of San Pantaleo, on Thursdays, market day.
Olbia and its historic center in the evening, ideal for a walk, for the markets and shops.
Golfo Aranci, points of arrival and departure of our journey.
Palau, a town from where ferries leave for La Maddalena but also a beautiful town to visit.
The archipelago of La Maddalena deserves no introduction, full stop.
In Caprera it is definitely worth visiting the monumental museum in Garibaldi and his house (the Sardinian guides we have found are incredible).
The farthest point reached is Castelsardo, a beautiful town with a lot of medieval history.
Many were the days spent at the seaside in Porto Istana, a marine reserve area; incredible the schools of fish found in these waters
snorkeling (absolutely buy fins and goggles if you have to go to Sardinia).
On balance Sardinia deserves ... |

Some tips that I feel like giving you:
August is certainly not the best time to visit these places ... both for crowds and costs.
The ring road that crosses Olbia can become a nightmare for those like us who had to cross it to reach Palau.
If you take the ferries to La Maddalena, pay attention to the departure times, the time to reach the embarkation point and the car parks in the area.
Many beaches can be reached by car, and parking is very expensive.
To visit La Maddalena and its islands (Budelli, Spargi, Razzoli and Santa Maria) you definitely need an organized trip, while Caprera can be reached by car once you disembark from the ferry at La Maddalena. |
