Ferry to Genoa and Olbia
Genoa is the capital city of Liguria and an important port city. The city has a rich history and a popular ferry to Sardinia 🙂 Most travelers to Olbia (Sardinia) choose the Genoa-Olbia ferry. About 24 boats go back and forth every week. In the summer season it is a busy route. Ferries at popular times often fill up. Now there is often another ferry that you can take, but it often doesn't get cheaper if you wait a long time to book. We have experienced ourselves that the prices almost double if you try to book at the last minute. This ferry sails between May and October
