none nearby. An island: Delcomar ferries cross from Palau every 30 minutes or so, day and night, in about 20 minutes. Palau itself is reached by ARST bus from Olbia.
Tickets · Delcomar (ferry) + island buses
The town is walked; the archipelago's coves spread along a panoramic ring road best covered by scooter, small car or the summer island bus
Ferry tickets at the Palau and La Maddalena port kiosks or online.
Show your ticket when boarding; take the car across only if you booked it.
On foot
- ·The town's granite lanes and harbour front are a compact evening; the beaches need wheels
- ·Caprera, linked by causeway, holds the Garibaldi museum and some of the archipelago's best walks and coves
Taxis and driving
- ·Bring or hire something small: the ring road and Caprera causeway are the way to the famous water
Official sites: Delcomar ferries · ARST (Palau connections)
