Olbia Ferry Port

Found on the north east coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, the port of Olbia is used to connect passengers to mainland Italy. Moby, Grimaldi Lines and Tirrenia all provide many daily crossings to Civitavecchia, Genoa, Livorno and Piombino. Most crossings last between five and ten hours.

What is there to do in Olbia?

A hidden gem among the array of coastal resorts lying along the shoreline of Italy, Olbia’s lack of popularity has become its primary selling point. It holds the quintessential feel of an old, Italian town but is still largely untouched by the gradual modernisation of tourism. Tourists are encouraged to sample vintage bottles of wine for remarkably cheap prices or indulge in another slice of pizza at one of the delicious restaurants; all whilst enjoying the sleepy vibe synonymous with the town. Before tasting all the sumptuous food, plenty of boutique shops are available, selling authentic gifts at an affordable price. Aside from shopping and eating, there is much natural beauty to be explored around the region: Porto Istana Beach and Spiaggia Rena Bianca offer wonderful views, gorgeous coastline and fascinating rock formations. If that isn’t enough then the San Pantaleo is arguably the standout landmark in a town inundated with history and culture. Olbia, quite simply, has something to satisfy the desires of every visitor.

How do visitors get around Olbia?

The town is so small that it is possible to cover the entirety of it by foot in less than a day, which is a desirable option considering the quaint streets and rustic buildings.

Genoa Ferry Port

With a blend of rich history and cutting-edge modern design, there is little wonder the port of Genoa is the busiest seaport in Italy. Originally built during the middle-ages to facilitate trade, the port on the north-western coast is now a wildly popular destination for travellers eager to explore the magnificent Italian Riveria region of Liguria. Visitors to the port will first notice the Lanterna lighthouse dominating the skyline, a towering 250-foot tall masonry structure that can boast to be one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. Once docked, passengers disembark via the historic Ponte dei Mille station, a marvel of traditional architecture that boasts ultra-modern facilities specifically designed to make checking in and out as smooth as possible. The port of Genoa can be reached in a variety of ways. Those travelling from Milan can catch one of the fast hourly trains from the Milano Centrale Railway Station or drive south along the A7 motorway, a straightforward route that passes over the famous river Po. Genoa can also be reached via the E80 that snakes 100-miles along Italy’s glittering northern coast towards the province of Livorno. A wide variety of ferry routes operate from the port of Genoa. Services regularly traverse the western sea of Italy, delivering passengers to the glittering isles of Corsica and Sardinia as well as the larger island of Sicily found on the toe of the country’s boot. Other services throughout the week take passengers even further from the Genoese port. This includes a day-long trip south to the Tunisian port of Tunis and an eastward bound service towards the world-renowned cultural hub of Barcelona in Spain. There are also available routes to Skikda in Algeria and a two-day crossover to Tangier Med in Morocco – ports both found on the stunning north African shores of the Alboran Sea.
