Olbia, Gallura and Costa Smeralda Tour for Cruise Passengers

An introduction to the Province of GALLURA, and also to Sardinia. A journey back through time, 5000 years of history in less than a day: starting with the panoramic road to Golfo Aranci, then a visit to the church of Madonna del Monte; after we go to Porto Rotondo, the elegant and artistic tourist village of the Italian elite. Then, we will go up to visit the picturesque village of SAN PANTALEO, set between fantastic peaks of granite. Going down the ages, we'll see the gigantic mushroom-shaped rock of ARZACHENA and the prehistoric nuraghe LA PRISCIONA and its village. Going back to modern times, we will go to the COSTA SMERALDA with its capital PORTO CERVO, where we will visit La Piazza, the Old Port and the church of Stella Maris. Nearby we'll also visit BAJA SARDINIA and Forte Capellini, a XVIII century fortress, now a fashionable club bar disco called Phi Beach. On the way back to the port, we can make a stop for shopping or for a visit to the Basilica of San Simplicio ( built in around 1059 ).
