Itinerary

1. Visit Cagliari

   • Arrive at the main street via Roma, have the first look at Cagliari and continue along the beach of Poetto, a sandy beach stretching more than ten kilometres (six miles). Its southwestern limit is the characteristic rocky formation known as “Sella del Diavolo” (Devil’s Saddle).

   • Coming back to the capital, stop at the Basilica of Bonaria, which stands against the old church in Aragonese Gothic style. From here, admire a complete view over the Gulf of Cagliari.

   • Before continuing to the old part of Cagliari, stop at Monte Urpinu, one of Cagliari’s main attractions with its panoramic position. To the south lies the great Golfo Degli Angeli – “Gulf of the Angels”. Simultaneously, the lagoons of Santa Gilla and Molentargius now appear to be almost enclosed by the urban network of the town, with its wide suburban belt and flights of flamingos, ducks and herons. The Aragonese and Spaniards gave the town its walls, ramparts, and fine buildings, and a certain atmosphere can still be felt today in the wrought-iron balconies in the old districts of Stampace, Marina, and Villanova.

   • Start the walking tour by the quarter of “Castello”, entering the old doors of the town you will pass in front of the National Archaeological Museum (not included), which houses collections concerning the early Sardinian civilisation – Nuragic.

   • Cross some narrow streets of the old city and finish our trip to the beautiful bastion of Saint Remy.

   • Return to the van and go down till the harbour of Cagliari, passing through the old quarter of Marina, with its various smells of the inhabitants' kitchens, coming from the Mediterranean coast.
