Torre di San Giovanni

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 is renowned for its well-preserved Catalan Gothic architecture, charming walled old town, and stunning coastline. It's also known as “Barceloneta” or “Little Barcelona” due to its strong Catalan influence, which is still reflected in the local dialect and culture.
