Sardinia Experience

Sardinia is a land of contrasts, where turquoise waters meet rugged mountains and ancient history blends with timeless traditions. In 10 days, you can explore its breathtaking coastline, uncover its rich heritage and indulge in its renowned cuisine, all at your own pace.

Start your journey in Cagliari, the island’s vibrant capital, where the medieval Castello district offers sweeping views over the Gulf of Angels. Wander through its historic streets, visit the National Archaeological Museum and relax at Poetto Beach, a long stretch of golden sand lapped by crystal-clear waters.

Venture west to the ancient ruins of Nora, a fascinating Phoenician-Roman site by the sea, before continuing to the wild landscapes of the Sinis Peninsula. Here, the white quartz beach of Is Arutas and the ancient city of Tharros reveal Sardinia’s deep connection to its past.

In the heart of the island, the UNESCO-listed Nuragic complex of Su Nuraxi in Barumini stands as a testament to the mysterious civilisation that shaped Sardinia thousands of years ago. A visit to a traditional agriturismo in the countryside offers the chance to taste the island’s culinary specialities, from pecorino cheese to slow-roasted porceddu.

The western town of Bosa enchants with its pastel-coloured houses lining the Temo River, while further north, Alghero’s Catalan-influenced old town is a delight to explore. Strolling its ancient walls at sunset, you’ll feel the deep blend of cultures that define this unique island. A short boat trip takes you to Neptune’s Grotto, a dramatic sea cave set beneath towering limestone cliffs.

On the northeastern coast, the glamorous Costa Smeralda reveals a different side of Sardinia, where exclusive resorts and stunning beaches welcome visitors to unwind in style. Nearby, the La Maddalena Archipelago is a paradise of unspoiled islands, where pink granite shores meet the clearest waters in the Mediterranean.

Every part of Sardinia tells a story, from its rugged interiors to its sun-drenched shores. Whether you seek cultural discoveries, scenic landscapes, or simply the joy of slow travel, a tailor-made 10-day itinerary ensures you experience the very best of this remarkable island.
