Leaving Rome's port of Civitavecchia behind, the overnight crossing to Sardinia usually docks at Olbia or Cagliari, with the island's rugged coastline emerging at sunrise. Arriving at Olbia puts you close to the Costa Smeralda, where the yacht harbour of Porto Cervo and the beach coves of Cala di Volpe are a short drive away, while Cagliari's hilltop Castello district and Poetto Beach offer a more urban introduction to the island. Inland, the prehistoric stone towers known as nuraghi — found nowhere else in the world — are scattered across the countryside and make for an easy, offbeat day trip. The wild beaches of the Ogliastra coast and the mountain village of Orgosolo, known for its political murals, reward those willing to drive further off the main tourist routes.
