You’ll find not only beaches and fun but also culture and history. Many cultural events depend on the presence of a strong personality of the past, Giuseppe Garibaldi, a sort of national hero, to which a museum is dedicated inside the house where he spent his last years and died. Lunch at your own in the centre of La Maddalena. Return to Palau, rest of the day at your own with the chance to relax and enjoy one of the local beaches. Overnight in Palau.
Breakfast at the hotel. Excursion through the Emerald Coast. The city of Arzachena is the core of this extremely appreciated and famous area. Rich nature, Mediterranean macchia, rocks shaped by the nature itself, wonderful beaches in a clear sea water, promontories and small islands. This incredible heritage was created in 1962 due to the free initiative of the prince Aga Khan V, who controlled an international financial organisation.

Breakfast at the hotel. Departure to Castelsardo. Old and wonderful village, it presents a clear track of Genoa dominion. Its coast, its local manufacturing, its receptive structures make it one of the most required places of the island for the summer holidays. Then, departure to Santa Teresa. This place is the symbol of a fusion between nature and modern, tourism and wild area, representing a cult itinerary for thousands of tourists. Its promontory seems a huge cathedral, imposing and strict, and rises in front of the famous white Sardinian rocks, creating several strange shapes in one of the most evocative seaside places of the world, the so-called Strait of Bonifacio. Free time for lunch. Here, we invite you to taste the mirto, the typical local liqueur made by myrtle. Later on, ferry boat to Bonifacio (Corsica). Visit of the city.
