Whether you have been picked up at the exit of the Cagliari cruise terminal or have reached the meeting point on your own, the surprises may begin right away: as you leave the harbour, it is quite common to spot groups of dolphins swimming in the waters of the Gulf of Angels. After leaving the harbour, we slowly head towards our first stop, admiring along the way the beautiful city of Cagliari, with its distinctive skyline overlooking the sea.
