Arbatax
Arbatax, nestled
along Sardinia's eastern coast, offers a charming escape. This town centers
around its port, located at the foot of the Capo Bellavista promontory. As
the main eastern maritime port, Arbatax connects Sardinia with Genoa and Civitavecchia by ferry.
Beyond its
functional role as a port, Arbatax boasts natural beauty and historical intrigue. Explore the
fascinating geological formations known as the Rocce Rosse (Red Rocks) near the
harbor. Hike to the top of the Torre di San Gemiliano for breathtaking views of the surrounding
area. Immerse yourself in nature at the Parco Naturalistico
Bellavista, a protected wildlife area. Relax on the beautiful beaches of Baia di San
Gemiliano and cool off with a swim in the crystal-clear waters.
For those
seeking adventure, rent a boat from Marea Noleggio Gommoni and discover
the hidden gems of the Gulf of Orosei. The Centro Servizi Turistici (STS Ogliastra) provides
information on local excursions by land and sea, including tickets for the Little Green
Train and boat tours.
Unwind after a
day of exploration at Spirits Boutique, enjoying drinks and live music in a relaxed atmosphere. Sample
local wines at La Bottega del Vino di Luigi Varchetta, or find the perfect
souvenir with unique sandals from Sandali Amalia.
