Carloforte, Sardinia • Kath Eats


Right here’s a recap of our go to to Carloforte, Sardinia through Explora II. We did a hike, purchasing, and two superb meals. Try my Explora II cruise put up right here.

Carloforte, Sardinia

Carloforte is a fishing city situated on San Pietro Island off the southwestern coast of Sardinia. We occurred to be the first-ever cruise ship to cease there! We discovered San Pietro is understood for tuna, fishing, and picket boat making. Carloforte interprets to “crimson tuna!” I introduced again a number of hand-made purses with fish on them as items.

It was THE CUTEST downtown space. It jogged my memory of a coastal California city with the sailboats and palm timber, however with the historic attraction of a European metropolis. We additionally had the most effective meals of our journey on this cease!

Climbing + Swimming

My predominant aim for our cease right here was to swim in crystal clear water, so we booked a vacation spot expertise by means of Explora that took us on a brief hike right down to a swimming cove. We had thought the hike could be cliff-side, however our information instructed us that storms had washed out the mountain path, so we took a better route by means of the valley as a substitute.

As soon as we arrived on the water, I used to be desirous to get in as a result of it was fairly scorching!

It was onerous to seize simply how clear the water was, nevertheless it lived as much as its popularity! We swam out so far as your eye can see there. The water was so salty that swimming was very simple. It was in all probability the farthest I’ve ever swam in open water! (And I wouldn’t have swam in any respect if that water had been brown and cloudy – eeek!)

Procuring and Lunch

I completely LOVED this meal!! It was like a cheese board however with lunch meals: roasted eggplant, zucchini, peppers; a caprese salad; meats; and two kits of focaccia pizza. Aperol spritz as a result of why not?!

Naturally, I had lemon gelato for dessert. Usually I’d select extra dessert-y flavors like vanilla or espresso, however this journey I couldn’t get sufficient lemon! (Most likely as a result of it was scorching too.)

We had been fairly drained at this level, so we took the tender boat again to our ship and rested for some time earlier than dinner.

Cabana nap!

Carloforte Dinner

After a relaxation and showers, we wearing dinner garments and took the tender boats again to shore!

On the suggestion of an Explora workers member, we went to Pomata Bistro for dinner.

We beloved the vibe!

We additionally beloved our meal. We began with focaccia topped with smoked bluefish and burrata. We each agreed this was simply sooooo good!

I additionally beloved my pasta with tuna (in fact!), mint, lemon, eggplant, and pecorino. I wish to recreate this dish at residence!!

Thomas additionally had tuna (on tuna island!) however his was seared and got here with a tomato salad.

Twice a day gelato!!

Subsequent up: Mallorca, Spain!
