This
is the Costa Smeraldo/Emerald Coast….lifestyles
of the rich and richer….Porto Cervo is one of the
main resorts of the Emerald Coast. It was in 1961 that Prince
Aga Khan IV and a group of foreign investors founded the
Consorzio Costa Smeralda. Luxury resorts, restaurants, hotels,
marinas, villas, boutiques — the best was brought here
and the jet-set came……today, Porto Cervo is still
greeting those on holiday. This is an upscale resort town with
great beaches and a rugged coastline. Do check out the Chiesa
di Stella Maris which has a painting by El Greco.
Just
5 miles from Porto Cervo, Baia Sardinia is part of the
Costa Smeraldo. It’s a resort with nice beaches
and fine services. Market day is Wednesday in Baia Sardinia
and in Arzachena.
