Tour Summary
Southern Sardinia
A blend of rugged Mediterranean beauty, turquoise waters and layers of history that stretch back thousands of years. During our tour, we experience the vibrant capital of Cagliari, the coastal paradise of Villasimius and the charming town of Pula, which serves as the gateway to Nora, one of Italy’s most important archaeological sites.
Caglliari
Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, where visitors can enjoy a guided walking tour through its historic districts, including Castello, with narrow streets, ancient walls and plenty of local character. From the city’s viewpoints, especially around the Bastione di Saint Remy, you can take in sweeping views across the harbour and the Mediterranean Sea.
Villasimius
Villasimius is a coastal town in southeast Sardinia known as the gateway to the Capo Carbonara Marine Protected Area, offering easy access to crystal-clear waters, protected marine life and some of the island’s most beautiful beaches.
Pula and Nora
Pula is a charming town in southern Sardinia that serves as the gateway to Nora, an ancient Roman and Punic archaeological site set dramatically on a peninsula by the sea. Visitors can explore well-preserved ruins including mosaic-tiled villas, ancient streets and a Roman theatre where performances once faced directly out towards the Mediterranean.
Su Nuraxi di Barumini
Su Nuraxi di Barumini is the most famous and best-preserved example of a nuraghe, the ancient stone defensive structures built by the Nuragic civilisation of Sardinia. This UNESCO World Heritage Site features a complex fortress with towers and surrounding village ruins, offering a fascinating glimpse into Bronze Age life on the island.
