For those looking for the perfect blend of white sandy
beaches, lovely countryside and authentic Sardinian character
the area around San Pantaleo provides the ideal solution.
This village developed around the rural church dedicated
to San Pantaleo; celebrations in honour of the Saint take
place from the 27th to the 30th of July with a mixture of
shows, dances and traditional music. The hamlet went almost
unnoticed by tourists until the 1960s’, when the boom
of the Emerald Coast and in particular the increasing popularity
of the near Porto Cervo have led to the discovery of this
quiet spot by tourists and international artists who have
set their home here. San Pantaleo remains a quirky place
popular with those tourists after a relaxing and authentic
Sardinian holiday. Every Tuesday the village comes to life
with the street market on the square, where you will find
stalls with absolutely everything, from the most tasteful
souvenirs to precious rarities.
To get there, from Olbia take national route SS
125 and after 7 kilometres turn right following the sign
that says: PORTO CERVO –BAJA SARDINIA – SAN
PANTALEO. Drive along the panoramic coastal road for 10
kilometres until you get to a fork in the road, then turn
left for San Pantaleo. The village is only a few kilometres
away from that point.
