Today, why not join our included excursion of the exclusive and beautiful Costa Smeralda. Costa Smeralda is 55km long and spreads into small and deep bays reminiscent of fjords. We take the ferry from the harbour town of Palau across to the Maddalena Islands. We visit the town of La Maddalena, the only inhabited island of the archipelago. The town is perched on the hill of Guardia Vecchia (156m) in the southern part of the island. A must for any visitor is the promenade behind the port, which houses beautiful 19th century buildings. There will be free time to explore the charming maze of narrow streets and small squares before we return to Palau by ferry.
