Torre di Porta Terra

Absolutely. Alghero, with its Catalan roots and position on the western coast of Sardinia, makes for a wonderful visit. The old town experience here is quintessential.

The Port of Alghero manages two quays, Banchina Dogana and Banchina Sanità, both of which are sheltered by the walls of the old town. The port is perfectly equipped to accommodate visiting yachts, cruise liners and other vessels up to 50 metres.

Alghero is a tender port, meaning cruise ships anchor in the bay and passengers are brought ashore via smaller tender boats. This process itself offers beautiful photo opportunities of the fortified city from the water. The tender boats drop passengers off directly at the marina on the edge of the historic old town.

Alghero, nestled in the splendid Coral Riviera, is one of the most beloved seaside destinations in Sardinia. With its golden sandy beaches, hidden coves, and crystal-clear waters, the Catalan town offers the perfect mix of unspoiled nature, history, and tourist services.
