Alghero holidays

Food heaven

If you’re looking to sample some of Sardinia’s best seafood, you’ve come to the right place. Head to the waterfront and try lobster alla catalana – Catalan-style lobster, which is boiled and served with thin slices of tomato and onions. Yum! And you can’t beat the view of the harbour.

A brilliant base

When you’ve finished exploring everything the Old Town has to offer, why not explore the island? Grotto di Nettuno is a must-see on any trip to Sardinia. It’s easy to get there, with boats departing daily down by the harbour. There’s plenty to see as you cruise along the coast too.

Beach brilliance

When it comes to beaches, you’ve got the pick of the bunch here. Start with Bombarde Beach, a popular plot with fine, white sand and crystal-clear water. There’s even a hop-on, hop-off beach bus that runs in the summer months if you fancy ticking a few off.
