Sunset on the ferry at our arrival in Olbia. |
Palau (in local dialect Lu Palau) is a small community of about 3.800 peoples in
the Olbia-Tempio province.
The morphology of the coast has a variety of bays, cliffs, islets and rocky reefs. Despite
the tourist development, the area keeps a fascinating spirit, because of the incredible
colours of the ocean, the granitic cliffs shaped by the elements in weird forms, the
beautiful beaches end the Mediterranean flora. |
A few kilometres from Palau, Porto Pollo has two long sandy beaches.
The western beach is three kilometres long and includes the mouth of the Liscia river.
The Isola dei Gabbiani (Seagull’s Island) is the local surfer’s paradise, thanks to the
combination of currents and winds present on the site all year long. |
