History/Info:
Porto Cervo is the main centre of the so called Costa Smeralda, one of
the most prestigious tourist areas of Gallura, in the north-western
Sardinian coast.
Resorts such as Cala di Volpe, Liscia di Vacca and Baja Sardinia
should now be considered very sought-after tourist destinations.Porto Cervo is a village of multicoloured buildings, recently built in
front of the natural port and of the surrounding hills.
The Porto Vecchio (Old Port), dated back to 60', is on the
south-eastern side, while the new one is equipped with the most modern
and complete tourist infrastructures for the international traffic.
The wharves and quays are Porto Cervo Spa's private property and
therefore there are fees to pay for docking and enjoying the use of
the facilities.
The Port is visible from the sea referring to Capo Ferro, a promontory
46 m high with a lighthouse indicating the north of Porto Cervo. From
the sea you can also admire the lights of the numerous tourist resorts
present in the area.
