Golfo Aranci
The harbour town Golfo Aranci arose after the construction of the railroad Olbia – Sassari and after the installation of the ferry route to the harbour of Civitavecchia. The marina has been used for the transportation of goods since 1882 and for the transportation of passengers since 1962. The beautiful beaches in the area have increased the popularity of the village, resulting in more and more connections to other cities. The ferries to the mainland are used daily by both locals and tourists.
The name of the villages doesn’t have anything to do with oranges; you won’t find any orchards here since it derives from a wrong translation from the old Gallurese toponym of the Golfu di li Ranci ("Gulf of the Crabs").
