Costa Smeralda: sightseeing tour of the Emerald Coast

To understand why Sardinia attracts a large number of wealthy tourists from all over the world, you should go on a sightseeing tour of the Costa Smeralda and personally see the uniqueness of this place. The tour will take only half a day, but it will undoubtedly give you pleasure. Driving through panoramic places along the coast, you can enjoy magnificent scenery with a sea of emerald color and bizarre granite rocks. The number of yachts of different models and sizes is also striking here. And in the greenery of Mediterranean vegetation, here and there, the villas of the richest people, such as Silvio Berlusconi, Roman Abramovich, Alisher Usmanov and many others, drown.

The heart of the Costa Smeralda is the town of Porto Cervo. Absolutely amazingly, the incompatible combines here: with the appearance of completely simple mazanki in the Mediterranean style, boutiques of famous expensive brands such as Gucci, Valentino, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and many others have sheltered. In the pier of Porto Cervo is a luxury yacht club, where today moor their "ship masterpieces" oligarchs. In September of each year, the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup sailing regatta is organized here, which makes the town even more beautiful. Also in Porto Cervo is the lovely church of Stella Maris, which holds a valuable painting of the Madonna by El Greco. In addition, you will see one of the most famous golf clubs, as well as the most expensive hotel Cala di Volpe, where the film “The Spy Who Loved Me” was shot. Then we will delve into the history of the island and visit the ancient tombs of giants and nurage, which are stone structures in the form of towers. A pleasant final note of our short trip will be a visit to the winery near the city of Artsaken. An experienced guide will tell you about the wine, the stages of its production, the criteria for certification, and will offer to taste the best samples in person. If desired, the tasting can be turned into a small lunch with Sardinian snacks.
