Cagliari : Profile
Cagliari is the largest port in Sardinia, as well as being the capital of the island. Its ancient castle towers over the city, below which lies the old harbour district, known as the Marina. It is an area of narrow, shabby, but vibrant streets, full of restaurants of all descriptions, from the modest to the expensive.
There are several marinas in the vicinity, but the inner harbour now has no room for visiting yachts and the inner basin is for official boats only.
It is possible to berth towards the end of the quay to the west of the inner basin or on the mole to the SE of it, on the east side of the basin.
The surrounding land funnels the prevailing NW winds into the harbour area and strong southerlies cause an uncomfortable swell.
This is another Italian port which has reported problems with security and rats.
