Good food at very secluded and nice beach. Stayed there only for the afternoon so cannot rate the hotel itself but looked amazing! The staff was very friendly and the ride to the place was an adventure for itself (dust roads), should be fine to go with any car though.

This is a natural retreat and habitat.
Man should not set a foot on the dunes; or be at least super careful when observing.
Building a hotel here and extending it more and more with parkings etc. is just rediculous.
Please dont support this!!!

Amazing surroundings and pleasant people, but waaaaaay over priced. For 350€ one expects a certain standard which the room and bathroom absolutely don't meet. Breakfast was also relatively poor.

Sensational location in once in a lifetime scenery..yes this exists in Europe
but why then 2 stars...insanely expensive for a 3 star hotel (basic rooms with old a/c and average food)...we paid 500 Euro per person/night with 3 people in one rooms...just to give an idea

Su Nuraxi di Barumini is a unique defensive structure found only in Sardinia, consisting of a network of circular towers. This archaeological site is Sardinia's sole World Heritage Site and the most popular nuraghe on the island. The focal point of this early settlement is the 1500 BC tower that was incorporated into a fortified compound during later times. Many buildings were constructed in the Iron Age, and they form an intricate system of interconnected circular structures on the hillside.
The GUIDES are EXCELLENT!!! The explanations are great to understand this amazing place. The views from top of the tower are wonderful. And get inside the rooms, such a good aventure! I'll go there again!!
Beth Cobo — Google review
An interesting place to visit if you are into History and Archeology. You can only visit with a tour guide. It's €15 per person for approx 1h. Our guide seemed passionate and had lots of information to share about the discovery of the site and how it developed and changed over the years.
Opposite is a place where you can buy food and drinks/coffee etc. If you visit after, you can use your entry ticket to get a discount.
Katie — Google review
Very good destination to learn 2500-3000 years ago people constructed towers only from stones and again its seen the waters importance for people. English version available for the tour, tickets are 15€ for each. (3 destinations can be seen with that ticket)

Su Nuraxi is a beautiful historical place in Sardinia only one hour by car from regional capital Cagliari. It is UNESCO monument from 14th century before Christ! The entrance for 1 adult is 15 Euro. We were there and it was wonderful.

Cool history and a nice tour if you can catch one in a language you speak, but quite remote and not as big as it seems in the pictures. If you're a history buff would recommend, if not then might not be worth the long drive.
Carly Blair — Google review
Interesting archeological side. Very friendly tourguide who spoke multiple languages. The tour takes around 50 min to 1 hour.
I don't recommend if you have trouble walking because you have to walk up and down very small stairs and spaces.
Yuv — Google review
We were lucky because we arrived less than 10min for the English tour (offered every hour).
The guide has a lot of knowledge about the place and used a fold with pictures and drawings to explain the history of the site. We entered inside the Nuraghy and were able to explore on our own. It’s quite impressive, absolutely worth the visit.
Andre Burati — Google review
Amazing archeological place, dogged out so it’s nice preserved and very i retesting culture. Sad it collapsed. Water worshipping is somewhat unique. I think it’s the best nuragic place to visit in this part of Sardinia or even in all.

Very interesting site. Nice bookstore. Some areas are tight for participant passing each other. Watch back packs and hold on to your phone. Hard to keep with the guide of the group is large.

The ticket to Su Nuraxi di Barumini also included two tickets to museums, the guide in su nuraxi seems knowledgeable, seriously looking, and provide English service, it’s a historical wonder, and people who are interested in history I definitely recommend you to visit this place and the two museums, as well as walking around this lovely old town and immersing yourself in the history.

Ok. 12 euros (2023) for this UNESCO site maybe too much, there is not much too see. It's interesting mostly for fans of ancient history. You can take s few nice photos. There us a guide if you are a group.

The place has a certain charm. You can easily park in the nearby parking lot. There's a souvenir stand where you can buy tickets and find shade from the sun. The place is suitable for children; a guided tour takes about an hour and a half. The guides are pleasant, and the commentary is interesting.

Visit was nice but the guide was on her phone the whole time and was not giving us accurate information on the site - at times she was contradicting herself actually.
Same - it’s a great site with important local history.

Best Nuraghi archaeologic site in Sardinia.
Visits with a guide (Italian or Engilish) only.
A climb in the high tower is only for people with a good condition.
Cliff van Dijk — Google review
Our final stop was yet another nuraghe, this one the most complex on the island and a major tourist site. There was a proper car park and access was only by guided tour. To be fair, after doing the tour you could see why as access to the central tower was by extremely steep and narrow steps. Kudos to Deb though for even getting out of the car after already seeing two of these sites and then doing the tour too.
Our guide was Sabrina who was celebrating her 30th year in the job! She explained about the rise and collapse of the Nuragic civilisation and how little we actually know about them as they left no written records. Archeologists have shown that the towers originally had merlons projecting out from the top with a balcony above them. The reconstructions look like medieval castles but 3000 years before those really existed and I find it difficult to believe an island the size of Sardinia needed or could support 7000 castles!
The tour was really rather good and we went through the original entrance 20m up the wall and down the steps into the courtyard from which 4 other towers radiated. Outside this structure was a later village, built when the nuraghe was abandoned and largely using looted stone. This site was the busiest of the lot with tours every 30 minutes but the ability to climb almost to the top and get an overview of the structure was fantastic.
Marcus Hurley — Google review
Geschichtlich sehr interessant.
Beim Besuch der Nuraghe ist festes Schuhwerk zu empfehlen.

Pretty nice beach. Clear water. Parking for free (October) showers at the beach are not working. Almost no shadow.

Absolutely worth a visit. Really unique feeling on a beach with “Rice” stones.
Also fantastic underwater experience with lots of fish to see, is like diving in a aquarium.
And yes it is crowded there, even during the week, but what to complain about, it’s summer vacation in all over Europe, so stop crying.
Jan “JanZi” Zimmermann — Google review
I think that is the best beach of the area. Got there at 7:30am and was nobody there so we had all the beach for ourselves. The water was perfect and very clean and the sand is just fabulous. Also you can see some fishes. When we left at around 11:30am was already busy. Highly recommend.
Larisa Manciu — Google review
Don't buy the hype. If you are close you can check it just to see nice small pebble sand. If you are thinking about driving from another part of an island, then let it go. There is a lot of plant matter on the beach - nobody is cleaning that. There are other nicer beaches on Sardinia. Oh, and parking is €2/h. What a ripoff.

I give five stars for;
⭐ The Amazing view
⭐ Calm place
⭐ Romantic and charming spot
⭐ Wonderful sea, clear and clean
⭐ Reachable by car or by feet (if you book a nearby hotel)
In love with this place 😍

It's probably one of the top beaches in Sardinia. There is plenty of space, tons of parking, and beach access. The beaches keep going north and south. It has some of the best snorkeling in terms of fish and things to see.
Just know they are super serious about leaving that beach sand at the beach.

One of the best beaches on the west coast of the island. Not very windy, good for snorkeling.

One of the best beaches I’ve ever visited. It is the beach of mini rounded stones, so called quarzo beach and this is amazing - tender but it doesn’t stick on your skin like sand. The see is great for swimming. Not too crowded in beginning of July. The parking nearby is quite expensive- 4 eur for 2 hours, however there are also other parking options.
Nataša Jeraj Kampuš — Google review
Wonderful beach with non typical “sand” looking as grains of rice which is being composed of small grains of quartz, which shades range from pink, to green, to pure white.
Pros: stretches for several kilometers, clear sea, easy reach from Oristano by bus, there are bars, free toilets and showers.
Cons: somewhere it’s to rocky seabed

Beautiful beach. The sunset, the view, the rocks, the quartz sand. The position is remarkable, this beach is so picturesque you have a feeling it is out of this world. This is one of those things you do not to miss. :)
Good afternoon, there was one tour at 10, one at 3 pm that day. Nice tour sailors, really helpful. They maybe could give us more details about the region/environment. Really hot on the boat so don’t forget sunscreen and water!!

First time being in a cave, cool place to view. Guide tours in both Italian and English, also possible to ask questions in French. Typical tourist attraction but one definitely worth doing when in Alghero.
yente Van de Wouwer — Google review
Absolutely dissapointing..arrived at the cave and captain said that weather is not good to park the boat. Did not even reach the entrance to see that. At that moment the waves was 0.6-0.8m. They already told while buying tickets that if weather is not good they will just swim around with the boat (like they knew that it will happen from the beginning).
Justas Kynas — Google review
The place is so good and the long boat ride seeing the cliffs was awesome. The boat ride to the caves was 40 minutes and costed 15 euros.
Abirami S — Google review
Really disappointed. We took the boat and they didn't say anything bad about the weather. We arrived to the grotto and they decided to go back because of the waves (I found this OK, but is not like they can't know this before going, specially because it wasn't the first boat today and there was another one on the site dropping off some passengers). The trip per se is nothing amazing, it was fine though, we took the boat because there are not buses on Sunday 😢
Jennifer Andrea Woites — Google review

This is a trip you must do. The Grotte is a wonderful sight to see (price is completely seperate to the boat ride out and my experience is that you are told this) I have seen dolphins on 2 trips out to the Grotte and Steps. The crew on Debora are great. Very welcoming and hospitable. Coffee and refreshments are served on board ☕️

Spiaggia di Maria Pia is a renowned beach that stretches for over a kilometer, boasting of crystal-clear waters and pristine white sand. Initially created 60 years ago to protect the surrounding crops from the sea, it has now transformed into a popular city park frequented by families, children and even those in search of a training center. The beach offers free entry at all times and impresses visitors with its cleanliness whilst providing numerous bars and restaurants.
Relaxing time spent here. Last day in Sardinia - spent on Maria Pia. There are several bars and a good local restaurant. Nice blue water. Perfect

Beautiful beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available €25 for day. €18 for half day.or just bring your own beach mat. Great snack bar/ restaurant. At times there is a waft of eggs smell from the piles of rotting seagrass. But beautiful white sands and clean crystal clear water. Much nicer than the lido beach which is disappointing.

The place where i go, i feel really comfortable and i enjoy 😉 to much!
Very good 👍 people, friendly, lovely and helpful staff 100%
Actually i have bean 3 years ago and nothing changed, maybe prices are a bit higher because of crisis and Covid-19 but the mos important thing is that situation is really good 😌 I come special from Sweden 🇸🇪 to enjoy vocation in Alghero city, but from Alghero with bus 🚌 is not so far 1€ ticket 🎫 from Alghero to Spiaggia di Maria Pia around 10 till 15 minutes depend of traffic.
I can recommend this place to everyone who really want to visit Alghero city, because Spiaggia di Maria Pia is one ☝️ of the best without questions!
Efrem Efre — Google review
I like this beach much more than Lido beach. Lido beach can smell bad if the water is not warm enough (due to the algae). The water at this beach is crystal clear. While swimming we saw some tiny fish 😄. Naturally you can find some pinecones and branches on the beach from the trees but it didn’t bother me.
Laura — Google review
Maria Pia is a lovely beach with white sand, dunes, and turquoise waters near Alghero. We visited the beach when in Alghero for a weekend. As it is close, we waddled there. From the city center, it took us about 40 minutes at a chill pace. My favorite part is the entrance, where you have to go through a pine forest. It's magical. And then the white sand and giant dunes. It is among the best beaches in Sardinia and I agree.
If you don't want to walk there you can take a taxi or the local bus. The beach has all necessities, a bathroom, and bars to refresh.
The beach is also easily accessible with wheelchairs, it has a wooden pathway.
Lifeguin — Google review
Such a beautiful beach. We didn't expect that a public beach (free entrance any time of the day/night) could be so clean. If you are there I simply recommend visiting it!

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places in Sardinia and in the world. You will be able to find various things to visit, the prison, the ossuary, the old work buildings, but above all... The greenery and the sea. It's great to tour the island by bike, be careful in the summer because it's 40 degrees. The only thing, remember that this island is a protected park, so forget about services, taxis, public transport, banks or similar.

Via Ponte Romano, 81, 07046 Porto Torres SS, Italy
Roccia dell'Elefante, also known as Elephant Rock, is a remarkable natural formation located along state road 134 in the Castelsardo area of Sardinia. This large rust-colored boulder, about four meters high, bears a striking resemblance to a seated elephant. Not only is it an intriguing sight to behold, but it also holds archaeological significance as it contains two ancient Fairy Houses used for burial rituals thousands of years ago.
Definitely recommend it to visit when you're in Sardinia! Couple on minutes drive from Castelsardo. It's free as being on the side of the road. Parking is easy and free we got there around 11am in June '19, some tourist but not crowded. Could comfortably take photos. The view also beautiful as always on this island 🌞😁

It look’s exactly like in the pictures. There were only 3-4 people at the time I went which was at 15:00 so i guess it’s not a very visited site.
It was interesting but kinda looked human made it has like tunnels which looked to perfect to be natural.
You won’t be spending more than 5 minutes there since it’s not really big. If you don’t want to lose 5 minutes you can pass by it by car and you will see everything since it’s right next to the road.

This archeological monument is run by two lovely women. The entrance is charged 3€ for adults and 1,5€ for kids. It's worth it, though. The landscape is beautiful and the view is as well.

Spiaggia Pittulongu is a stunning beach located not far from Olbia. Visitors can enjoy sun beds, snacks, and various water activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, and surfing in the crystal clear blue waters. While it may be chilly in May, the beach provides an amazing view of incredible colors regardless of the weather.
Just come back from a weeks stay here. It is a beautiful island not very touristy at all. The beaches are stunning with clear water brilliant for snorkelling. It is a little gem of a country, so much to explore. We hired a car and went round the north of the island where there are some stunning beaches. Just a couple of points, people don’t speak much English so it is worth learning a bit of Italian before you go. Our apparently universal travel plugs did not work over here so worth checking you have the correct plugs. Car parks are quite expensive by the beaches 2.50 euros an hour. There are very few sun beds on the beaches, most italians bring their own travel chairs. If you do find sunbeds they are 25 euros for 2 for the day. Food is fantastic, but not much meat on the menu. If you like fish and vegetables like I do you will be very happy

Really beautiful beach not to far from Olbia. We were unlucky with the weather when we went as it was very windy but I can imagine how nice it would be in good weather
Do not make the mistake and walk from Olbia as we did as there are no footpaths, best to get the 04 bus

Overall the beach itself is ok. Pros is the fact that the sand area is long and spacious giving you plenty of space to lay out; there are a couple of beach clubs to get food and drinks; umbrella and chair rentals; nice swimming sand bar type beach; and public bathrooms available. There is a lifeguard stand to ensure safety of your little ones. Cons … the area itself is not the Sardinia beauty you come to expect from its white sandy beaches considering its in front of a residential area; the locals like to sit really really close to each other and you so be ready for a lot of loud talking around you.

amazing beach! beautiful clear blue waters. had a great time. there’s beach chairs with umbrella available for rent at 20euros at mama beach restaurant (cool restaurant too!). weather’s quite chilly for May by the way 😬

If you want a quite and peaceful day, then this beach ain’t for you. Pittulongu is a sandy and family friendly beach close to Olbia city center. Bus number 4 stops 2 min from the beach and takes around 20 min from Olbia. Be aware that it can get pretty crowded on the ride back.
This beach is quite popular so be ready to get there early if you want to snag a good spot. There are also sun beds to rent if you prefer that. A few restaurants along the beach that seemed popular, although we didn’t try them. Many vendors roaming around.

Beautiful beach just outside of Olbia. Very easy to get to by car. There are two free car parks but watch out as the car park itself is full of seawater in places and also very uneven. We went in October so the beach was not crowded at all. The beach is very clean. Coarser sand which is then very fine when you get into the sea. Very clear waters and shallow for a good few metres. Lots of fishes swimming near to the shore that you can almost touch them! Beach itself is free - you have to pay for the toilets/showers. A couple of restaurants are along this beach.
Sue To — Google review
Not the nicest- the water was the murkiest we have seen during our holiday so far, and spotted a jellyfish. It was really busy. I wouldn’t go back here. I think perhaps its popularity is down to its proximity to Olbia.

Spiaggia Pittulongu is a long, sandy beach located in Olbia, Sardinia. It is a popular destination for swimming, sunbathing, and windsurfing. The beach is backed by pine trees and has clear, blue waters.
There are a number of restaurants and bars located near the beach, making it a great place to spend a day in the sun. The beach is also a great place for families with young children, as the water is shallow and calm.
Marcin Siwicki — Google review
This is the first Sardinian beach I saw and it was a nice encounter with the crystal clear water that is typical for Sardinia. The beach has a big opening to the sea and that is why the water could easily become too wavy. The beach is also a bit commercial, but it has two options, both renting a beach chair or putting your own towel on the sand. If you have many days on Costa Smeralda, I recommend visiting it and eating on one of its restaurants which have tasty food. The town/village of Pittulongu offers you the option to see at least 5 very beautiful beaches. If you don’t have so much time on Costa Smeralda, I recommend skipping it and focusing on other small beaches such as Pellicano which is nearby. The bus ASPO no. 4 connects all the beaches, but pay attention to the hours of the bus, because it passes rarely and only until 8 p.m.
Veronica Isailă — Google review
This beach is about 20 minutes from the city center of Olbia, take the bus number 4 ( you can buy a weekly pass for all the busses for 10€ in a Tabachi shop). Busses are always running and not too crowded. The beach is spacious, crowded, but its easy to rent a chair and a umbrella, but carefull, there are two places to rent, the blue chairs are much more cheaper than the brownich ones... crystal clear water, thin sand beach, water around 22 and 24 degrees in July. I recommend a visit, very beautiful beach.

Large beach with clear water. Sand in the water without rocks or algae. Clean and mesmerizing.
Best beach in Olbia in my opinion.
Minh Quentin NGUYEN — Google review
Crowded, but we managed to find available sun beds and umbrellas - far from bars though. I'd recommend to bring your own umbrella, because it's quite pricey to rent one and more crowded in this area and there is no natural shadow. Otherwise water was unimaginably clear, sandy beach is great and view is amazing, all the facilities needed are available. Also a lot of parking space and good bus connections.

Lovely beach. With a bit of sea grass in the entrance but after that amazing cristal blue waters
Capo Testa is a picturesque coastal area in the northernmost point of Sardinia. It offers visitors stunning views of the sea and rocky hiking trails, as well as coves with small sandy beaches to explore. The peninsula is known for its weather-carved granite boulders that resemble sculptures by Henry Moore and a sturdy lighthouse that overlooks the blue waters towards Corsica.
Lovely panoramic view and setting, beautifull spos and bars. Parking tricky (need to come very early) be careful parking attendants are red hot there.

It's nice and okay. Based on the wind, you can choose either beach. Water looks like the Caribbean, but you need to watch out for broken glass everywhere!

Really impressing rocks & worth a visit! Parking not so easy and the trails need some hints where to go. The beach directly at Capo Testa is a unique place, but extremely crowded - and hard to reach (some „climbing“).

Vedran Korponaji? — Google review
Was a great day with some amazing views!
Great with kids, can climb pretty much all over.
Even the coffee bar at the top was great… good burgers and great fries
Peter Jackson — Google review
Capo Testa is great for a walk to discover the rock formations sculpted by the wind. But it is also great for a swim. There are two sides, on one side a long strip of sand and the other a couple of hidden small creeks with some sand. We chose the later for its peaceful nature and crystal clear water.
Parking could be a big issue during the high season. While you come on the road and see some cars, park, don’t go further thinking you will find something. You won’t.
Jean-Philippe Cyr — Google review
This is the most beautiful and interesting coast in Sardegna. Crystal clear water, some fish, strange rock formations and several path around.
Be careful with the parking! If you manage to find a place, where the whole car is beyond the white line, you are lucky, you can park for free. If a part of your car crosses the white line, you will pay a nice fine,so better choice to find a blue line slot and pay at a machine...
one of the most beautiful sunset views on costa smeralda. climb the rocks for some spectacular visuals. bring a pizza and some wine and something soft to sit on so that you can spend as much time as you want there. met some locals who treated us to their home grown grape tomatoes.

Stunning views off the ocean in the north of the island. Amazing beauty.
Andrew Doran — Google review
When I arrived at Olbia and I checked in my first question was
What place should I visit If I have only 3 days here?
The answer was: If you have a car you should visit Capo Testa
Capo Testa is located at the north of Olbia.
It is the closest point to Corsica and you can see it’s coast
This place (Capo Testa) is not only beautiful for being nearest to Corsica but also for the phenomenal small beaches with
Yellow sand, rocks and blue and crystalline water
You can find several beautiful beaches between Capo Testa and Santa Taresa di Galluro where you can choose either small beaches, Bahia’s and beaches a little bigger
If you are thinking in visiting Cerdeña staying in Olbia, you must visit Capo Testa (it’s far away 60 kms from Olbia)

Fantastic place to trek and enjoy beaches. The granite natural sculpture and the abandoned lighthouse make this place surreal. Plenty of option and also you could spot some of the locals ( 🐐) climbing 😁. I would say is difficult with small kids due to access to the beach is quite rocky

Nice beaches but everything close. Not even a mini shop opened.
Established in 1996, Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena is a marine park comprising seven main islands and several smaller granite islets located off the northeastern coast of Sardinia. The archipelago's natural sculptures have been shaped by the prevailing maestrale wind over centuries.
An extraordinary series of islands located between the Sardegnean mainland and Corsica with stunning blue water and beautiful beaches. These gems are a little hard to find if you don't have access to a boat but well worth the trip if you can make it! A wonderful place.

Cala Coticcio, a small sandy beach nestled in a deep cove surrounded by rugged cliffs, is now a well-known destination in the Maddalena Archipelago. In recent years, due to its growing popularity, special rules have been implemented to preserve the area's natural beauty. A permit and local guide are required for access to the beach and surrounding area.
Absolutely stunning beach - cozy sand bay surrounded by stone, some of the stone low peaks usable for jumping into the water. Quite busy by the end of August, lot of lingering boats and people enjoying the beauty and remoteness of the place. One of the nicest beaches in Sardinia.
Daniel ??astn? — Google review
🏝️Paradise beach , truly stunning (specially in low season when at some point we were just in 4). Once you arrive to the 1st beach, continue for a bit more cross the rocks on the left side; you will be rewarded with an even better little Cala only accessible otherwise by boat/swimming.
🅿️ We left the car parked on one side of the road , at the beginning walk. Easy to find following google maps.
👟The walk from the road is approx 1.65km / 35-40min. It is moderate hike with many up & down hills. It can feel tougher with the heat. Strongly recommend to bring comfortable shoes & enough water.
⛱️ If possible bring an umbrella to cover from the sun as there is not much shadow in the calas. Also it’s a good spot for 🤿
♻️ As there is no trash in the beach /parking please bring back with you all of it to ensure we keep clean the natural park.

PLEASE ASK BEFORE ENTERING HERE!
You need a local guide. Water and shoes. We as locals we have the privilege to walk but if you’re a tourist think again before going to Cala Coticcio.
The best time is spring. I would avoid summer time…too hot and crowded with boats.
Breathtaking trail! The path is prohibited but we did it anyway. Medium/hard difficult!
Take really care of the plants and nature. The Cala is the most beautiful in the world. And the amount of flowers at this time are of an imaginable importance..all protected.

Reservation only, list of guides on the La Maddelena parks website. We thought this was an unnecessary hassle at first, but once we started we quickly understood the reasons. We had Giuliano as a guide, extremely knowledgeable of the area, plant and animal life, good natured & humorous. The trail is about 40-45 minute hike, steep in sections, some loose rock and very hot with no shade. When you get to the beach it takes your breath away, turquoise blue water and small fine sandy area and easy access, some juniper bushes scattered around the bay under rocks for shade, you can find a shady spot. Due to previous years of no regulation, the beach could not handle the amount of traffic (500 people in some days). A place this beautiful needs protection so I am glad to see the restrictions, and a €25 per person for a guide is well worth it. We biked to the parking spot, give yourself 1/1.25 hours from La Maddelena (some hills on the way up !). Met our guide there at 9am, he let us stay for 3 hours which went quickly. Bring a bite to eat and lots of water. You can stop for beers on the way down. One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. Thank you Giuliano !

Top memories we will always remember
Visited May 2023 and there was just one other couple on the beach at 11am. It filled up slowly around 12 with more groups
Ad Feu — Google review
The only reason why one star is that we were not able to even get to it. On the side by the road you will see national park rengers who will stop you if you go by foot. Reason is that the way to the beach is protected area and you are not allowed to go there without a guide. Would be nice if I would know this before on sites or other places. If you go with a boat I think its fine. Anyway, there is another really beautiful beach Napoletana 30-40 minutes walking from the main road (bring shoes) if you don’t know where to go from there.
Benjamin K — Google review
Really beautiful beach well worth the approx 45min trek there (definitely wear proper shoes!) - wouldn’t do it with small children as there are some steep climbs included. At the entrance at the street there is a sign stating that you are only allowed to go on the hike if you’re with a guide as it’s a protected area. I didn’t know this beforehand and really wanted to go so went anyway. Around 2:30pm a guide came to the beach with his group of about 6-8 people shouting at everyone there (the little beach was packed with people who hiked there and came by boat) that we weren’t allowed to be there and no towels or other stuff was allowed on the sand. We had to put everything on the rocks around us. It wasn’t clear whether he wanted us to leave so I stayed a bit longer.
I do get that the beach needs to be protected but the guide really destroyed the experience for me a little bit. He was just unnecessarily aggressive and kept bossing people around - except for the people on his tour who were allowed to put their towels on the beach for example. It felt like a show just so these people wouldn’t feel ripped off for paying for something other people got for free.
Lara — Google review
Really beautiful beach, but a tough trip to get there. We were quite unprepared as there wasn't much information, so I'll share some here. The entire hike is in the sun, so bring enough water! We were sweating like crazy and there is a lot of climbing and descending. There are some tough spots where you will have to descend sitting, so make sure you have your hands free and aren't heavy loaded. You should wear sneakers of some sort, because there is someone checking if you do at the beginning of the trial. She won't allow you to do the trial if you wear flip flops, and with good reason. The beach consists of two beautiful little beaches divided by rocks and the water is delightful to swim in after the hike. As the lady said, the trial is recommended for experienced hikers, and they will take about 45 min to go to the beach and another 45 to return.

Bonifacio and also the whole south of Corsica are to be seen and experienced in every way. We chose the right place to do it because our holiday in the apartment "Faro di Capo Testa" in the fantastic Bonifacio was just as we wished.
The apartment is a tastefully decorated jewel in an extraordinary location in the old downtown of Bonifacio and very well located to reach the key points, restaurants and shops of the town. Although the streets are always full of days and nights, the apartment is very quiet and we really got a good rest each day.
A small balcony, overlooking a small square, invites you to have an aperitif in the open air watching the people passing by and admiring the white cliffs located exactly in front of the apartment. The landscape from this point is simply breathtaking and one the best of the town.
The cleanliness of the apartment deserves a good 10.
Meticulous in every detail detail, Federica has managed to make our stay in Bonifacio a really pleasant and unforgettable experience. She was always very professional and helpful in her advices both before and during our stay.
Highly recommended with all 5 * * * *

The popular Plage de Santa Giulia in Porto-Vecchio, a bay on the south coast of Corsica, is surrounded by clear, shallow water and beachside restaurants. The pier offers fishing opportunities.
One of the best beaches in Corsica! There are good bars and restaurants, water is crystal clear. One can walk around and explore nice and more quiet places around.

We expected more since we visited palombaggia. Santa Giulia is long but narrow beach so we hardly found our spot. We were located in front of some mobile homes and it was really bad smell I guess from the toilettes. The water was clear and shallow, so is perfect for small kids. But a lot of grass in the water and on the beach. Parking lot is 5min away walking and it costs us 5€ per whole day.

Very beautiful beach in the southeast of Corsica. Partly white sand and turquoise water. The beach is very long and unfortunately also very busy. Nevertheless beautiful. If you are looking for a quieter place to sunbathe, you should walk down the beach to the end, even further than the last hotel-restaurant. In front of the the Hotel there is also a small free parking lot, next to a small lake, but there you have to be a bit lucky, because the other parking lots cost 15 € per day. If you want to go out for a meal, you should know that the beach is mainly home to high-priced eateries. Exception is a kind of fast food restaurant, but that is unfortunately at the other end of the beach.

Long Nice beach500m from patking. Keep left to the Parking 5€ / restaurant charge for 10€ (discount 10€ if you go to the restaurant) I recommend to parking on the main road or opposite of the main road which is 500m walk to the beach as well

Great beach. Parking cost 10 Euro, but they give it back if you order anything in a bar or bistro. Clean sand, music, a lot of young people. Cool.
100% Recommended.

An amazing beach with clear water for the kids to play all day. There are two bars where you can easily get all the necessary food and drinks, so if you are a person who can stay in one place for the whole day, this beach offers everything. For the first 50 meters the water is very shallow, again amazing for little kids. They can walk in and out (under your watchful eye of course) all day. The water was also not cold. I recommend at least a couple of hours to visit, but it could get crowded.

A beautiful beach to visit. A free parking lot located at the beach. A couple of restaurants situatuated along the beach for an ice cream, a beverage or something to eat. Lots of shade and lovely white sandy beach.

Water is shallow and clear, sand is white. Bay is beautiful and the ship can’t come close. So why just 3 out of 5?
The grade is lowered by the August crowd, but hey, this is the time i am here. It is super busy.
There’s also quite a bit of seaweeds that reduce the amount of available beach. They also smell quite a lot. If you’re going in the paid part of it, just disregard this, they keep it pretty clean and they look gorgeous.
Another minus is the parking, the closest to the beach costs 20€!!! TWENTY!!!
There are cheaper options with nice pals (search for the 5€ one on google map, there’s a 5’ walk on a nice path).
Overall, there are FAR better options. Balistra, petit Sperone, Stagnolu and even Rondinara.

The beach definitely has a potential. However, it is a victim of its own popularity. In the high season it is very busy. Additionally, the beach is not cleaned of decaying sea weeds making it a very unpleasantness place to lay your towel on. The prices in the surrounding bars and restaurants resemble those found in Switzerland rather than in France. Perhaps the biggest nuisance is the noise pollution. The beach is used to rent all kind of watercraft that emit constant noise and exhaust fumes, polluting this otherwise beautiful place even more. You will do better going somewhere else, unless you enjoy crowds, high prices, dead seewed and noise.

This is what a beach should look like. Beautiful sea, mountains in the background, warm sun. Usually not too crowded, plenty of room to swim, take a walk by the shore, or play with your kids. Definitely will return here!
Tamás Kondor — Google review
Ridiculously packed and honestly expected a lot more. I think the beach is victim to its popularity as the beach was quite dirty with cigarette butts and random trash , and this was early in the morning. Also on the left hand side it’s just a port with all the boats so doesn’t feel great to be swimming so close to that. Views are very nice and water quite warm.
Getting in and out is a complete nightmare as the roads are extremely narrow and two cards barely fits. Arrive as early as possible and leave between 2-330pm

One of the most beautiful beaches close to Porto-Vecchio. It's definitely a must-see when you're in the area.
After 11 am can get quite crowded, but that's something normal.
Unfortunately, some people act like they are at their house throwing away rubbish like bottle caps. You have to be careful while walking on the sand.
Palombaggia is a picturesque beach located near Porto-Vecchio, boasting stunning views of its white sandy shore and turquoise waters. This scenic coastal area is surrounded by evergreen trees, creating a serene and natural ambiance. Nearby, visitors can explore the charming town of Porto-Vecchio with its historic citadel and quaint streets. Palombaggia itself offers a lagoon-like bay with clear and crystal waters, perfect for swimming or simply admiring the beauty of nature.
Wonderful sand beach with convenient parking. Came at around 11 in the morning and it was not a problem to park car in the shade of pine trees. And parking is free! Beach itself goes alongside, walk further and it will not be crowded at all. Crystal clear and shallow water, stones to make insta pics, bars everything is there! The best beach for us visited in Corsica! Recommended!!!

Nice blue shallow water. Great for little kids. Lots of pine needles and other natural debris on the beach. On Sundays extremely crowded. Some jellyfish in the water.

This is, to me, the best beach in Corsica. The dand is white and thin, the water very clean and light blue. You can park very close to the beach if you get there early (before 10am) otherwise there are parking on the street and with a 10-15min walk (very easy) you get there anyway.
Around 11 till 5pm is a bit crowded but still there's plenty of space.

Really warm and transparent water. Great place for sunbathing and swimming!
Filitosa, an important prehistoric site in Corsica located 20km north of Propriano, showcases remarkable granite menhirs that were erected up to 6000 years ago. Some of these standing stones were re-carved during the Bronze Age, about 2500 years later, depicting intricate faces and weaponry. These unique carvings seem to honor specific individuals. The site offers an hour-long exploration through open fields and hillsides that contain remnants of ancient enclosures.
Great place to visit, is really interesting and plenty to read. You can explore and take your time. The access is not complicated and you have parking and a little brasserie on the side to eat. I was impressed for the olive tree! The path is fairly well indicated however it could be improved a bit. The museum at the end is plenty of historic information.
Javier F U — Google review
Parc with ancient Filitosa statues spread over a few hectares. There is at the entrance a modern building with interesting historical artifacts and a shop. The entrance fee was rather high for what is there to see, on the other hand it’s a quite unique site which should be seen.

Nice archeological center, as it presents the history of Corsica. (The museum at the end d plains nicely). The site itself is a bit too basic, lacking an explanation (unless you purchase the guide which we didn't do as we already spent 9€ eaxh, for the entrance) that could have been included (the qr code give you access ti only very little and poorly translated information)
Veronica De Bernardi — Google review
Absolutely beautiful! I enjoyed every moment of the visit! I met wonderful people who feel responsible to save and share the ancient history and site. Walking there is simply so peaceful that I hardly wanted to leave while I learnt about history and the dedication of the family owning the site.

They do have a restaurant on site as well. The tour is audio guided via QR code.
Goodyear — Google review
Worth visiting for the anthropomorphic menhirs but otherwise compared to sites in say Brittany it is slightly underwhelming. Most of the museum was closed off when we visited with no explanation when it would open. The very good €2 guide guide leaflet is worth spending a few moments scanning before you start exploring. The most important menhir, Filitosa V, is now a replica but there is no mention of where the original now is.

There are some interesting stones but for sure this "site" can be improved. They simply can add some flower gardens, some productive olive trees, etc
Hint: you can simply visit without paying if you take a look on sattelite images. I was very disappointed to see cars parked inside of this "site"

Les Aiguilles De Bavella is a majestic and grandiose location nestled in the mountains of Bavella. It offers breathtaking views of the towering needles and is best visited early to avoid crowds. The area provides opportunities for a 5-hour round trip hike from Col de Bavella to explore its natural wonders, including the famous "trou de la bombe.

At 11am, we’ve ordered 2 cappuccinos at an almost empty restaurant. We were served two cups of warm milk with barely dissolved instant coffee or similar substance floating on top although they have an espresso machine. Upon politely asking whether our order was misunderstood, we were informed in no uncertain terms that “chez nous le cappuccino est comme ça”. Best avoided.

This was such a nice place - our first question was “do you accept credit card” as some very nearby places don’t or pretend they don’t accept CC but here the waiter/ owner was very clear: yes we do - the food itself was very tasty, the service was very friendly (almost ‘not-French’ if you get my point), and the location/ view is excellent - thank you “Aiguilles” team!

This place is excellent in a lot of regards.
They offer top quality meals, when "it was too late" for the other two restaurants nearby, the staff are excellent, very nice, the meals were all of a quite large portion and very tasty.
You can even get accommodation (with breakfast, lunch, dinner included) below in the basement on bunkbeds, they have showers, a small kitchen.
Overall, it was an excellent choice to rest here for the evening before continuing our journey on the GR20.

Museum in the former barracks of the citadel is dedicated to Corsican anthropology like pottery.

Spacious, well laid out museum on several floors.
The exhibits provide a comprehensive history of Corsica. You need to leave plenty of time for a visit if you want to read all of the detailed information for each exhibit. As with most museums there is probably more on display than can be absorbed on one visit. Don't miss the "Corsican Head" sculpture on the outside terrace on the first floor.

Very well-done the lab for kids: we were two adults without kids and enjoyed it so much anyway. Explanatory videos along the exhibition are nice as well.

Lighthouse on the rocky Pietra peninsula, reached by a walk or mini train, offering broad sea views.

Plage de Saleccia, located on the northern coast of Corsica, is often hailed as one of the most picturesque beaches in Europe. With its white sand, turquoise waters, and lush vegetation, it's no wonder this idyllic spot was chosen as a filming location for The Longest Day in 1962. Accessible by boat taxi from St. Florent or a scenic drive from Casta, this half-mile stretch of undeveloped coastline offers a serene escape.
One of the best beaches I have been to. Wide beach fine sand turquoise water. Catch a boat taxi from the St. Florent pier. There are several companies on the pier that are not on Google Maps, not just Le Popeye. We made a reservation a day ahead with Spassighj’Agriate and they were great.

Nice beach, but nothing ‘special’, loads of nice beaches in Corsica that do not require an hour off-road driving (10 kms) to get too! A nice sandy long beach, but the snorkeling was disappointing. Maybe a visit by boat would be the best option.
Nigel McKinley — Google review
Just an amazing beach!
The sand is superb, the water is azure, and the wind is calm.
However, you can't really get there easily: the "road" is 6 euro and if you don't have a tall 4x4 it's better not to go there.
On the beach there's no toilet or change room, so be ready to share some of your secrets. It's not a lot of people, though.

Fantastic beach. I like the way to get there. There is no road. But with a motorcycle or a 4x4 car you can get there. The beach is very clean. The sand is fine but not more fine than on the other side like at Bastia. You can be shure that everyone on this beach has made a special effort to come here. There are sometime cows on thr beach. The cows like to play with some visitors. This plage is one of the most difficult to get there.
Reviewer cheffe — Google review
This beach is extraordinary special and located very nice. The scenery is just great. Clear water and white sand makes you feel like in the Caribbean. During the main season it's often crowded, but still worth a visit. You can go by 4 wheel drive from Casta or by boat from St. Florent. Or by your own car, and without 4 wheel drive it will take some hours to do down the earth road. Close to the beach there's the famous camping site and on the other end of the beach a very nice beach restaurant hidden in the pines. Definitely with a visit.

I give you as good description I can. Because I searched in advance before visiting Saleccia and didn’t get the whole picture. First. This is a beach worth traveling to. One of the top 10 in Europe if you search for unique places. This is natural. Beside Chia in Sardinia this is magic. For me. St. Florent is the nearest city. You will find at least 3 providers of transport by boat there. It cost you 30 euro in a rib. Easy 10 min. You can choose in and out times in advance if you are early or there the day before. From 09. Saleccia gives you about a kilometer of the finest sand with no gras or other. At the south end we found Rosa or pink if you want, sand. You walk easy out in the water. Slowly it gets deeper. So nice. We saw 4 private boats when we where there on a Wednesday in September. We walked 50 minutes to Lotu beach along the coast and returned from there. Wearing just sandals. Nice walk. Lotu is smaller and ok but we found Saleccia more perfect for us. You can also reach it by car. If you have a decent 4x4 just do it. They say 45 minutes. From the road up on St Florent mountain. You find it. There are many providers of transport in that area. 30 min from the city. So you need to add that for the 45 min if you stay in St. F. I don’t know the price for 4x4 transport.
We like corsica ferries more than m...y ships. But it depends. They have good ships and not so good ships. We had a lot of cabins. Some cabins are quiet and some are very noisy.
Reviewer cheffe — Google review
My suggestions for improvement: The staff on the Livorno ferry could definitely be friendlier. A more polite manner and greater willingness to assist would significantly enhance the travel experience. The ferry seems to be in an outdated condition and requires renovation. New carpets, chairs, and overall modern furnishings would uplift the onboard ambiance. If dogs are allowed on board, appropriate facilities should be provided for them. Artificial grass and clean disposal options for dog waste would be a welcome improvement. The conditions of the onboard sanitary facilities are unacceptable. Cleanliness and hygiene should be top priorities and urgently improved. Surveys should inquire about the status of the pool if it is actually in operation. The information should be current and relevant. The website is also in need of improvement to better inform customers about the services and the condition of the ferry. The Wi-Fi code didn't work, which was a frustrating experience. Likewise, the booked Express Boarding did not function as expected.
My opinion on the crossing: Overall, my experience on this ferry was disappointing. The staff's rudeness, the poor condition of the facilities, non-functional Wi-Fi, and the disappointing Express Boarding all marred the experience. The cabins were acceptable, and I appreciate the honesty of the staff when my wallet was found in one of the cabins. Boarding in Bastia went smoothly, and the staff there were more polite. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improvements on this ferry to justify the high prices. The information on the website should be updated to better inform future passengers and avoid disappointments.

They get you from A to B, with a big boat that you can put your car on. Expect no more and I wish you the best.
We had a 1-hour departure delay that turned into 2 (we were notified the morning of departure, that was ok), then ended up being 5 as we waited on the parking lot. And that was just the delay of departure. Upon arrival, there was another hour+ of delay for whatever reason. When the doors finally opened to get to the cars, the required vouchers for reimbursement magically went missing until there were just a handful of people left waiting. Great enthusiastic announcement over the PA system (also the first one on all this)! As we by then had a sleeping toddler and were in no rush (we stopped caring), we were among the last so we actually have the voucher. Don't expect any response when you try to get reimbursed, though. Their info on the website is total B#, there's no followup whatsoever (which is against the law, but hey..), they just don't respond and believe me, we've tried, in many different ways. A bad product is one thing, but a bad customer service is another.
No second chance from us, nor any of our friends. the worst travel experience of my life, by a lot.

2 types of boats. It gets the job done but 1 boat is pretty old and dirty, other one is bit more modern and cleaner. Ship is run by Italian people, and they run it like it's their own monarchy, with the passenger as lowest "rank". The boat had some delay and we had to get out of the cabins so they can start "cleaning" it. But the garage-deck wasn't open yet, so the hallway got more and more stacked and hotter and hotter and the crew was kinda shouting with the typical "italian" handsignals, not the best experience.

Mount Capanne is the tallest mountain on Elba Island, with a summit that can be reached by hiking or cable car. The hike up to the top is pleasant and not too difficult, taking around 1.5-2 hours for those familiar with Alpine mountain walking. The trail offers stunning views of the island's natural beauty throughout the journey as it is largely empty due to most people using the cable car.
Beautiful experience, an absolute must if you go to the island of Elba.

Very nice and fairly easy mountain walk up to Monte Capanne. Start at the cable car on route 1. If you are used to Alpine mountain walking, the trip takes about 1.5-2 hours. You will see beautiful nature and great views throughout the walk. It is very empty as 99.9% of people take the cable car. The top of Monte Capanne is very busy and completely built up with telecom and TV antennas. Hence, enjoy your walk up.

I'll never travel to Pisa without this trip planner again
CavallinoMatto is a forest amusement park that offers exciting rides and family-friendly attractions, as well as live shows, a pizzeria, and a bar. Children's access to the various rides is determined by their height - from 90 cm up to 130 cm. The park is well-maintained and safe, with plenty of shows for visitors to attend throughout the day. The entry fee is very reasonable.
This amusement park is an oasis of fun and excitement. Outstanding roller coasters, with the standout being "Freestyle". On a week day in July, there was remarkably low crowd levels, and almost no waiting. It's an especially great destination for big kids and can ride every attraction. Pre-ordered tickets are a bit cheaper.

Lovely theme park in Italy. So many different rides from age 5 to big kid like me (I'm 42 btw). Has a variety of different places to eat and grab an ice cream and an excellent picnic area, which is useful. Wasn't too crowded, which was a surprise being August but not an unwelcome one as it meant we didn't have to wait long to get on any of the rides. Would love to go again next time I am in Italy

You pay a small one time entry (26€ if you pay in advance) and then can access all attractions as often as you want without paying extra and without waiting in lines.
Almost NO WAITING AT ALL, only at the jurassic river we had to wait around 30min.
All the attractions are really fun for both kids and adults. Throughout the day you have some shows you can attend to and also a 4D cinema playing a short movie.
You can easily spend the whole day here!
Big RECOMMEND!

THE WORST PIZZA SLICE OF MY LIFE
Sunday April 7. It is a nice park, small but well-kept if it weren't for the restaurant part, and the squat toilets are still in 2024. For 89 euros, a family of 3 deserves more than a frozen, industrial, slice of pizza ( 1 menu soft drink + pizza euro 7,50, for 3 people another 24 eur0) Certainly the worst of my life. Not even abroad have I eaten pizzas of such a low standard. And given that the centre has been open for decades, perhaps I wonder how much customer care there is if the toilets are still squat toilets with obvious inconveniences, especially if you have children. But we are in Italy, a seaside place, so shut up and pay.

We've spent the whole day in the park. Access to the attractions for the kids is determined via body height. Some are from 90 cm, 100, 110 and 130 cm. Lots of fun, for adults as well. The park seems to be well maintained and save. Many shows to attend. Entry fee is very reasonable.

Bolgheri is a charming village located in the province of Livorno, Tuscany. It's known for its relatively new but thriving wine scene, with vineyards benefiting from the coastal proximity and dry climate. Since the 1970s, local wine producers have been experimenting with non-traditional grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.

(Translated by Google) (Parking Fanfani, Vada) Not accepting electronic payments in 2023 is illegal. Even more illegal is not answering the phone to ask for explanations. Instead of writing that cards are not accepted, write that parking is free! Thieves!

(Parcheggio Fanfani, Vada) Non accettare pagamenti elettronici nel 2023 è illegale. Ancora più illegale è non rispondere al telefono per chiedere spiegazioni. Invece di scrivere che non si accettano le carte scrivete che il parcheggio è gratuito! Ladri!

Visitors to the Terrazza Mascagni in Livorno can enjoy panoramic views of the coastline and cityscape from its elevated terrace. The deck is named for Pietro Mascagni, a composer who was born in Livorno.
Beautiful! The chequered tiles give it a beautiful look and you see amazing surroundings nearby.
One can also go close to the sea and find many beautiful corals, sea grass, tiny colorful fishes and crabs. I attached photos.

Go just for a walk down and to enjoy the views(panoramic view). But far out of the town for anything else. Nothing really near by. Go but don't make it a must do list.

Beautiful seaside terrace. The tile work is very impressive. Sunsets here are one of a kind.

It's OK for a walk down and to enjoy the views. Bit far out fo the town for anything else. Nothing really near by. Go but don't make it a must do list. Some public toilets near by you'd be helpfull

Very clean and bright looking promenade close to Livorno Harbour.

A lovely open air space sandwiched by the sea and the city. The warmly-coloured chequered marble floor, the tall palm trees and the grand bandstand in the centre made it an ideal place for sitting, strolling, jogging, running and cycling.
Feel a bit like the LA's Santa Monica sidewalk but without the sandy beach!!

While visiting Pisa we took the train to Livorno for the afternoon. A bus from the station brought us to the Terrazza Mascagni. It is a lovely walk along chequered tiles surrounded by a waist high wall, which gave beautiful views over the Ligurian sea. There are benches where you can sit and rest / enjoy the views. While there was a cafe nearby the restaurants were all closed by 2.30 / 3pm so make sure you eat before you visit. I would also recommend when buying bus tickets that you buy return tickets as well as it is difficult to find anywhere that sells them.

This area (contrary to other reviews) is NOT well maintained at all.
Haven’t been here for a few years, but it looks like material choice was wrong for the balustrades… appears that saltwater has soaked into the concrete and corroded the reinforcing bars - shattering many of the top stones.
Now looks a real mess… 🤦♂️
Give this a miss - just not worth the walk from town, unless using one of the private beach front facilities nearby.

The views of the city from here are amazing. Plus it's a Great place to park and walk into the city from, which we did. Parking fees were reasonable. They also have a bus stop there as well. It can get very busy so be aware of that. We came just after a rain storm and found parking easily, but when we returned after our visit it was very crowded. Wonderful place either way!

Beautiful view and smell of Mediterranean Sea. It was a nice walk and paid park lot was right next to the aquarium.
The Livorno aquarium is a popular attraction for travellers with kids. With more than 1500 animals of over 300 species, it offers a great view of marine life from all around the world. The aquarium is located in the city's seafront, and also includes an interesting touch pool and tunnels where visitors can get up close with some of Livorno's top wildlife.
what a lively place to visit! we went there on a date and it was so beautiful! not at the scale of other aquariums but with a student card we payed 6 € each which was very affordable! a mist visit if u have an afternoon off in Livorno or if u want to spend some lovely time during your weekend!

Nice aquarium. The first floor has several sea animals and is done in about 30-45 min. Second floor has insects and reptiles and is done in about 20 minutes. Interesting animals and the price of 12 euros is okay. Presentation sometimes was lacking and the provided information or text were sometimes for other animals.

Great place with several different species from the world. It is not that big, but it is for sure a good family experience 😊.
The second floor has some terrestrial species like an interesting ant environment and transparent tubes for seeing them carrying the food.

Not big but beautiful and if compared to the price of the ticket 15€/person, and I think it's a bit pricey.

Nice place where to hide with small kids in a hot day for a few hours. Suggesting to increase the free entry for kids to 120 cm (not up to 1 meter only) as I had to lift even the taller one to many of the aquariums anyway. Some banners are also in English, but not all unfortunatelly. Anyway we've enjoyed it much.

The turtles are wonderful.
Otherwise smallish and quite pricey for the size. There are no family tickets and reduced prices are only valid for small children (literally <140cm). Get your tickets in advance (online) to save if you're a larger group.

Nice place, small. Nice to see is the ants in the amphitheater.

Nice place to spend am hour with your children. Interesting species, but not very big. One hour was more than enough. No penguins but they had giant turtles, which where a hit for us :)

Nice Aquarium to visit during a raining or even a hot day. It is not that large, you will spend 1 to 1.5 hours inside.
Visited on a weekday during high season. No waiting queue and parked at the front door (about 3eur for 2 hours).
Bought the entrance tickets online at the aquarium itself (requires creditcard) and the sooner you do'll this, the more discount you get.
Facilities are okay, but there is option to buy some food.
Vincenzo — Google review
The place is beautiful, the aquariums are well maintained, but there are too few things to admire. In an hour and a half, the visit to the aquarium was almost over, maybe even faster than that. Anyway, I visited this place on a very rainy day, so no regrets.

The aquarium isn't very big, but it's very interesting. My kid loved it as the turtles were bigger than him and there are some very interesting fish and sharks.

Here from the US for our honeymoon and the weather was windy and rainy today. This was a perfect place to go. Good size, good price & clean. We truly enjoyed it.

It is a great place to show sea life to your children. It is a bit time fatigued, but it is Italy, so sun made it like that. It has a nice observation deck though, where one can see really far away, incl. many ships approaching port. Next to it there is a water park, so the whole day can be easily spent there. An in the same building there is a very good restaurant as well, does not belong to aquarium though.
