Palau is definitely one of the most spectacular and noteworthy seaside towns in Sardinia (Gallura region) bordering the Emerald Coast. It's also an important landing place to reach Corsica and the Archipelago of La Maddalena by sailing boat or motor yacht. Its modern harbour's development is tied to the entire extending coastline, offering a variety of gulfs, dream-like bays, uncontaminated beaches and small rocky islands that emerge from a crystal-clear sea teaming with life. Palau's artistically shaped coastlines are sculpted by the wind that generates a wide variety of shapes and forms in its rocks. The most famous is that of "Dell’Orso". Over thousands of years, the atmospheric agents have amazingly transformed this rock to unmistakably appear like a bear. For those wishing to travel coast-to-coast while also visiting Palau's surrounding hinterland characterised by lush, Mediterranean vegetation, the Trenino Verde (green train) has been made available by Sardinia's Railway and has proven quite successful amongst tourists.
The green train is fascinating because it travels through road-less areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. An unimaginable Sardinia appears from behind its glass windows, through forests, calm lakes and thick vegetation amidst which the train is forced to travel. There are numerous itineraries to discover this corner of paradise. For those deciding to adventure through Gallura, Palau is a destination not to be overlooked. Of course our suggestion is to visit this wonderful corner of the west Med with
a luxury motor yacht charter or a more romantic sailing yacht charter. From Palau tourists can choose from many destinations, some of the most famous include: Porto Rafael, Capo d'Orso, Costa Serena, Isola dei Gabbiani, Porto Pollo (surfers' paradise), Stintino's beautiful military fortresses, Capo d'Orso, Altura and Baragge.
