Introducing Aglientu
Aglientu is a small commune and popular tourist destination, located in the Olbia-Tempio region of Sardinia, Italy. The town combines rural tradition with some fantastic resort-style attractions, and boasts some great facilities for families.
Aglientu Holidays
The beach at Aglientu features the fine white sand that Sardinia is so famous for, and offers some great conditions for both swimming and sunbathing. Children can play safely in the waters here, thanks to the gently sloping shelf of the seabed. The beach is backed by a row of restaurants, cafés and bars, meaning you’ll have plenty of options for refreshment, a bite to eat or shelter from the hot midday sun.
Another attraction on a holiday to Aglientu is the fantastic selection of water sports that are practised in the area. The choppy water and strong winds further out to sea make this a great location for windsurfing, and you’ll also have the chance to hire out a jet ski for the afternoon! The area around Aglientu also attracts a large number of scuba divers – this stretch of coastline boasts somewhere in the region of three hundred caves, many of which are completely submerged in water. Hire out diving gear, and you’ll be able to explore a range of fascinating and beautiful underwater caves, including the breathtaking formation known as ‘Neptune’s Grotto’.
Holidays in Aglientu will also give you a chance to try your hand at the exciting sport known as ‘kitesurfing’. This extreme water sport combines elements of wakeboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding and gymnastics, and Aglientu is a particularly popular location for it – in 2005, the town even hosted the Kitesurf World Cup.
There are plenty of options for a day trip or excursion, during your holiday to Aglientu. Olbia, for example, is a fascinating cultural centre and rich in local history and heritage. It lies roughly 35km southeast of Aglientu, and makes for a fascinating change of scenery during your trip. A little further afield, you will also be able to visit the dynamic town of Cagliari, famous worldwide for its architecture, ancient sites and mouth-watering cuisine.
