Hiking and cycling paradise

Sardinia harbors some of Europe’ sunniest sands, but its wild interior affords some of Italy’ most-scenic hiking and cycling routes, Rugged mountain terrain stowing away nuragic villages and Ozieri cave tombs.

In Cagliari I had the pleasure of exploring the historic district known as Castello. As I walked through its narrow cobblestone streets, I couldn't help but admire the well-preserved medieval architecture and the stunning panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea from the city walls. One of the most memorable moments was visiting the Cagliari Cathedral, where I marveled at its intricate architecture and the peaceful atmosphere inside. The Poetto Beach with its crystal-clear waters amazed me. The blend of history and natural beauty in Cagliari left me with a deep appreciation for the city and the island of Sardinia as a whole.
