| Porto Cervo: Porto Cervo Marina is often referred to as "Porto Nuovo", the New Port, being of a relatively more recent construction than Porto Cervo, the "Porto Vecchio" on the other side of the harbor. The heart of the marina is the Village, designed by the Sardinian Architect Figus, with its piazzas, shops, newsagent, English style pub, the Lord Nelson, supermarket etc. Close by, there is the exclusive Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, which organizes all the regattas and the prize presentations on the main village square and then the main pier, where the larger luxury yachts are berthed. Porto Cervo Marina is a fascinating place, very lively and ideal for those who love boating and a marine atmosphere. In summer there is a little ferry that takes passengers, free of charge, to and from the Old Port. You can also stroll over, if you prefer, on the pretty pathway around the edge of the bay. At the end of the Marina is the extremely well equipped shipyard, capable of handling very large yachts, which is perfect for those who like to watch the boats go by. |
