Description
For those who truly long to go off the beaten path, join us on this brand-new itinerary featuring the best of its second-largest island. We’ve charted a route through territory still virtually undiscovered by the tourist crowds—yet rich with history and mind-boggling scenic magnificence. Along the way, experience traditions and cultures you won’t find anywhere else.
Sardinia (or Sardegna) boasts over 2,000 km of pristine shoreline. Within this diverse coastal landscape, you’ll view high cliffs diving into the turquoise sea; stretches of white, sandy beaches; and miles of salmon-colored rock formations. On this tour we explore the southwestern tip of the island and its islands off the coast. Relax on a Mediterranean beach, far from the tourist crows and cycle the wild west of Italy.

Day 1: Portoscuso
This afternoon, enjoy a warm-up ride, perhaps taking an optional extra loop along the coast.
Day 2–3: San Pietro and Sant'Antioco Islands
Day 2: Take a 40-minute ferry bound for San Pietro Island—and enter a world apart. As you cycle around the island, settled by Genoan fishermen 300 years ago and still famous for its red tuna, you might hear the ancient Genoan dialect.
Day 3: Today’s boat ride takes you to Sant’Antioco Island, from which the Phoenicians once dominated the Mediterranean. Enjoy views of beautiful beaches and a turquoise sea during your spin around the island.
Day 4: Teulada
Roll through rural countryside en route to Teulada, enjoying views of mountain-ringed coasts, olive groves, and white sand dunes.
Day 5–6: Pula and activity day
Day 5: The Spanish influence on Sardinia is evident in the lonely Spanish towers you’ll glimpse on today's ride, along the island’s most beautiful coastline on your way to Pula.
Day 6: Explore the Roman and Phoenician ruins in the ancient city of Nora, with its lovely harbor …take a bike ride...... embark on a hike into the woods … or simply enjoy the local beaches, shops, and restaurants of Pula.
Day 7: Arrivederci!
Stay to enjoy the white sand dune beaches of Pula or take a bus to Cagliari where you can extend your stay or catch a flight or ferry to the mainland.
