helpthejuggler Posted May 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2014 We are calling here next month and are interested in suggestions for what to see and do. If you have been to the northern part of Sardinia, what did you do or what have you planned for an upcoming cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro cruiser Posted May 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2014 At the bottom of this page on the town's web site there is a link to an on-line brochure (36 pages in Italian and English) that gives you an idea of what there is to see and do, as well as a map of the area: http://www.comune.porto-torres.ss.it/Comunicazione/Argomenti/Porto-Torres-Turismo/La-Guida-Turistica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINGBER Posted June 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Haven't gone yet and still don't have much of a plan. Still hoping to hear from others who visit before us too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhhhhh1 Posted June 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Haven't gone yet and still don't have much of a plan. Still hoping to hear from others who visit before us too. ;) hey, we will be on the same cruise. Are you interested in joining us to go to "Spiaggia della Pelosa" beach? We could rent a car together!

EKV Posted June 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thank you Euro cruiser! This link saved us! We were able to book an excursion through one of the links on the last two pages. I highly recommend this resource for anyone looking for activities in Porto Torres. The Celebrity Concierge was not very helpful. It's a new port for them and they have very limited options and little information on the port itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin4vacay Posted June 19, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2014 We are going there too on Equinox in a week or so. I'm thinking the beach at Della Pelosa but am having trouble figuring out transport. I know there is a bus from Porto Torres to Stintino and I found a schedule on trip advisor but I can't tell how close to the beach it drops you or if we would need to switch to another option in Stintino to get to the beach.

Therese2014 Posted June 21, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I have been researching beaches for the last few hours and have decided we wish to visit La Pelosa beach which is reputably one of the best beaches in the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskincow Posted June 22, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 22, 2014 All this talk about la pelosa beach in stintino is getting my wife and I very excited for the cruise. Will anyone be on the cruise and want to split a ride there? Any advice on how to get there from porto torres? Bus, taxi? Thanks! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therese2014 Posted June 23, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi Rob yes we would be happy to share the ride with you. Is it just the 2 of you? I've had a quote from City Taxi's -EUR 260,00 for a Car 4-seater -EUR 316,00 for a Minivan 7-seater Not heard back from CE as yet - they are getting back to me today Rebecca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskincow Posted June 23, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Hi Rebecca- Would love to share, but I think we are on the late July cruise (a different one). It looks like your cruise starts this month. Please let me know what you end up doing so I can try the same thing. Will anyone be on the July 26th 2014 Celebrity Equinox cruise that arrives in Sardinia on July 30th? Thanks! Rob p.s. Am I able to private message on here so as to not waste space on the thread? Edited June 23, 2014 by redskincow more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexNI Posted June 30, 2014 #20 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi Rob I'm on the same cruise & would like to visit La Pelosa beach. I have found some bus time tables which show journey of about 41 mins @ 1 or 2 euros. I'm struggling with the timetable as it's a bit unclear see attached - http://www.arstspa.info/727.pdf Taxi prices quoted seem to be a rip off . See if you can make any sense of timetable?

AlexNI Posted June 30, 2014 #21 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Sandra here again.There seems to be a bus leaving Torres around 9am but it looks like the only ones coming back may be 11am & 4pm which would be cutting it too fine. I have requested a quote from a taxi company for return journey. There is also a thread on this topic on equinox roll call for 26th July. I will keep you posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure out public transportation but not the easiest and may not be the best option with the short day in Sardinia. Thanks! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helpthejuggler Posted July 4, 2014 Author #24 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) The port ran a shuttle bus to Porto Torres which is 10 minutes from the port where we docked. You can see the ship from the bus drop off point to have a feel for the distance. Porto Torres had lots of teenagers in "Here to Help" shirts and the main street was closed for the day as many craft stalls had been set up along the road. There were people in traditional costumes and some music/dancing. There were maps available We walked to visit the Romanesque Basillica of San Gianno. The crypt is worth a look. Entrance was €3. We strolled around and stopped for local wine which was good. The food also looked good. A nice way to spend of hours. Not a large town and the passengers were made very welcome.
