Day 2 Alghero

Today join your Holiday Director and Local Guide on a tour of Alghero. The town is known for the deep-red coral found off the nearby Riviera del Corallo coast. It is one of the few places where coral fishing, a tradition here that dates back to the 11th century, is allowed, though strictly regulated. During our tour we’ll also visit a coral factory to see how it is crafted into beautiful pieces of jewellery.
Afterwards there’s time to enjoy lunch with your travelling companions if you wish. The rest of the day is free. Your hotel is surrounded by a large park and also boasts its own stretch of sandy beach. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool, tennis court, bowling green and mini golf range, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied if you decide to spend the afternoon here.

The site dates back as far as 15th century BC and there’s a host of ruins to explore, including a large meeting complex and two towers, one of which can be explored inside. We then visit the Wine Resort Azienda Agricola for a guided tour of the vineyard and olive groves, before sampling four wines accompanied by local produce including cold meats, cheeses, bread and olive oil. The afternoon is free to further explore at your leisure or perhaps head to the beach.
