Porto Rotondo is located around 17km from the city of Olbia, in the north-east of the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia. The town is an important tourist centre and part of the famous Costa Smeralda, an area of beautiful beaches, great restaurants and fantastic scenery. Porto Rotondo is a somewhat upmarket resort, and the home of an exclusive yacht club.

Things to do in Porto Rotondo, Italy

Porto Rotondo has a high-quality beach, though it can sometimes get busy with visitors during the height of summer though. This does not become a problem though, as a reasonably short walk or bicycle ride will take you to one of the lesser-visited bays of the north-east coast and you will be able to relax in peace.

Beachside restaurants are common in Porto Rotondo along the Costa Smeralda, and will provide you with the opportunity to sample the local cuisine without having to lose too much sunbathing time. Seafood is always top of the menu in this part of the world, and you can be sure that the fish of your choice will be some of the freshest you have ever tasted. Bars and cafes are also just minutes away on foot.

If you plan on returning home from Porto Rotondo with a few snapshots of fantastic Sardinian scenery, you can do far worse than take a journey up one of the rocky cliffs that frame the town. The elevated position will allow you to fully appreciate the spectacular mountains and crystal-clear waters of the coast, and will give you the opportunity to produce photographs that will be the envy of all of your friends.
