The south west corner of Sardinia offers some of the island’s most spectacular scenery. There are views in all directions – the unspoilt coastline, the beautiful green Mediterranean vegetation, crescent shaped beaches of gleaming white sand leading to turquoise seas – all laid out before you on these inspiring holidays.
The longer holiday starts inland with a ride down to the coast and the lovely beaches at Portu Maga and Piscinas. The next day you cycle down the coast to Nebida, passing through some eerie, abandoned villages – testament to the mineworking past of this corner of Sardinia. Contrast this with the fine beach at Portixeddu and some wonderful coastal scenery.
For the next two nights you are based at Calasetta on the island of Sant’Antioco. Carloforte on the neighbouring island of San Pietro is worth a visit with its atmospheric main square and web of colourful narrow streets and alleyways. The 4 night holiday starts with two nights in Calasetta, followed by one in Sant’Anna Arresi and a final night in Pula.
From Calasetta there is a gentle ride to Sant’Anna Arresi before one of the highlights of the tour – a wonderful ride along the renowned Costa del Sud, one of Sardinia’s true gems. Unspoilt coastline and remarkable beaches will live in the memory.
The tour finishes in Pula, a pleasant town near the important archaeological remains of Nora, which was founded by the Phoenicians nearly 3,000 years ago. A museum in Pula offers a model and interpretation of the site at Nora.
