Alghero

The port of Alghero is located on the northwest coast of Sardinia and is a popular port of call for cruise ships in the Mediterranean. The town of Alghero, often referred to as “Little Barcelona”, is characterized by its well-preserved old town with narrow streets, historic buildings and a waterfront promenade lined with bastions.

Cruise ships usually anchor off the coast, as the harbor is not deep enough even for larger ships. Passengers are taken by tender boats to the mooring point near the town center, which allows direct access to the sights.

Alghero offers a variety of attractions, including the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria, the medieval city walls and the Torre di Porta Terra. The city is known for its Catalan-influenced culture, which is reflected in its architecture, language and cuisine.

In the surroundings of Alghero are the famous Neptune Caves, an impressive sea cave that can be reached by boat or via a staircase with 654 steps. The beaches of the Riviera del Corallo with their clear water and white sand also invite you to relax.

The port of Alghero combines historical charm with Mediterranean flair and offers cruise guests an unforgettable stay in Sardinia.
