Highlights

Alghero
Alghero is best known for its beautiful beaches, very good food at reasonable prices, and its Catalan origin, in fact it was known in the past as little Barcelona. This historic town has become one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Sardinia. The car free narrow lanes of the atmospheric old town contain numerous bars and cafes whilst the restaurants are renowned for excellent seafood. There are also two farmers markets in town. The surrounding area brings many delights for those who venture out of the city. These include the famous beaches at La Pelosa - Stintino, the eerily abandoned mining town of Argentiera and the ancient palace complex at Nuraghe di Palmavera. The coastal road south of Alghero is beautiful, an unspoilt and protected panorama of sparkling sea, lush vegetation, and rocky mountains. It leads to Bosa, a small medieval town, which has a distinctive and living historic center and many points of interest.
Capo Caccia
Capo Caccia is a rocky promontory that dominates the Bay of Alghero. This spectacular section of the coastline rises up to a height of 610 feet (186 meters) above the sea and features a network of underground caves. Enjoy superlative cliff top views then investigate subterranean caverns and passageways. According to popular history, Capo Caccia was so named because the local aristocracy used to guide their boats to the foot of the cliffs to hunt for pigeons. The Italian word for hunting is caccia.
The Neptune's Caves in Alghero
Neptune's Grotto is a stalactite cave near the town of Alghero on the island of Sardinia, Italy. The cave was discovered by local fishermen in the 18th century and has since developed into a popular tourist attraction. The grotto gets its name from the Roman god of the sea, Neptune.
