Rugged natural beauty meets luxury on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, south of Corsica and between France & Italy. The aptly named Emerald Coast (Costa Smeralda) stretches for miles along the rugged coastline of Sardinia, running adjacent to some of the clearest turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. A coach tour will take you further inland to the granite hills of San Pantaleo and then the town of Porto Cervo, where charming streets and squares serve as the main hub of the Costa Smeralda. Here, you can sample the local cheese and wine or enjoy a full meal in a quiet cafe. Baia Sardinia, Romazzino Hotel, and Piazzetta also emit a posh atmosphere. Cruises only spend one day here, so make sure to take full advantage of all this gorgeous island has to offer. Contact us to start planning today!
