Tour Overview
Stunning Sardinia immediately evokes images of sparkling emerald waters lapping idyllic white sand beaches, but away from the stylish resorts of the Costa Smeralda, the island remains relatively undiscovered, with a mountainous inner heartland contrasting with its wildlife rich marshes, remote headlands and picture perfect shores. This 7 night self guided holiday takes you on an impossibly scenic discovery of western Sardinia's natural beauty, from the maquis scented slopes of the wild black Montiferru mountains to the prolific birdlife of the Sinis wetlands, and from rugged limestone cliffs dotted with panoramic watch towers to the picture perfect sand and white quartz beaches of the Sinis peninsula. Of course Sardinia is also an archaeologist's delight, boasting a historical treasure trove of ancient settlements, including the fascinating Roman site of Tharros which spans no less than 2000 years of history. Other man made highlights include the early Christian basilica of San Giovanni and the quirky village of San Giovanni Sinis, reminiscent of the American wild west, which sits completely unpopulated apart from one week a year when a religious festival brings it to life.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrive in Santu Lussurgiu
Location:
Santu Lussurgiu
Accommodation:
Hotel
Arrive in the sleepy mountain village of Santu Lussurgiu. Explore its maze of
winding alleyways that cascade down the hillside, before dinner.
Day 2 : San Leonardo Loop Walk
Meals Included:
breakfast
Head uphill with sweeping views over the Gennargentu mountains to the little
village of San Leonardo, famous for its crystal clear spring water. Enjoy the
Sunday market and a leisurely lunch in one of the many cafes, then it's an
easy downhill back to Santu Lussurgiu, past the statue of Christ which keeps
its panoramic watch over the village.
Day 3 : Santu Lussurgiu - Santa Caterina di Pittinuri
Meals Included:
breakfast
We take you to the Montiferru Mountain, then admire the coastal vistas as you
descend through oak forest, olive groves and tranquil pastures to the
spectacular tuorquoise bay of Santa Caterina di Pittinuri. Don't miss the
gorgeous sunset here where the limestone cliffs are turned stunning shades of
yellow and pink.
Day 4 : Santa Caterina di Pittinuri to Putzu Idu
Meals Included:
breakfast
Transfer to the Is Banas lagoon, home to grey herons and pink flamingos. Then
follow a clifftop path to the pristine sands of Su Pallosu beach. There's the
option to walk to Capo Mannu with its clifftop lighthouse and ancient Spanish
watchtowers to enjoy far reaching sea vistas. End the day in Putzu Idu, a
favourite spot for surfers.
Day 5 : Putzu Idu to San Salvatore Sinis
Meals Included:
breakfast
Set off along the limestone cliffs of Su Tingiosu, rich in birdlife, before
reaching the stunning beaches of Is Arutas and Mari Ermi where fine grains of
white quartz form the sands. From here head inland through artichoke and
wheat fields to the quirky uninhabited village of San Salvatore Sinis, famous
for its Roman hypogeum (underground temple) and as the film set for spaghetti
westerns!
Day 6 : Tharros loop and Capo San Marco
Meals Included:
breakfast
Walk along the lagoon of San Giovanni to the early Christian basilica of San
Giovanni di Sinis. Continue to the ancient site of Tharros, with its Roman
remains dating back to the 8th century BC. There's the option to extend the
walk along the coastline to the panoramic Capo San Marco before relaxing on
the beach at San Giovanni.
Day 7 : San Salvatore Sinis to Cabras
Meals Included:
breakfast
Pass through artichoke fields, vineyards and olive groves to the Cabras
