Sardinia Coastal Walking Tour

As soon as you’ve arrived from Cagliari to Buggerru, views of the ocean and a relaxing day of exploring the town await you. Be sure to visit the ‘Henry Tunnel’ mining site, before spending the afternoon with the sun on your shoulders and the Sea of Sardinia in front of you to rest up for tomorrow’s adventures.

Today, you will explore the beautiful terrain along the coast while walking to Portixeddu, where you will enjoy lovely views looking down on the beach from an elevated position. After a gradual climb for 5km, you will descend into a gorge towards a forest plantation and visit some military forts dating back to the Second World War.

Day 3 begins with breakfast and a transfer to the village of Ingurtosu, where you will begin your walk to an ancient mining site known as Laveria Brassey. From there, you will trek to the dunes of Piscinas, where you’ll be alone amidst the sand and vast sea. It’s the largest desert area in this part of Europe, and it’s quite a sight! At the end of your walk, a short transfer will bring you to the agroturismo, where you will spend the next two nights in total relaxation.

The next portion of your Sardinian walking tour takes you back to the ocean. Stroll along the beach of Scivu to the Mediterranean macchia, where you’ll find a sweeping viewpoint waiting for you at the Capo Pecora granite promontory. Continue on to the tiny village of Portixeddu, where you can grab a coffee and watch the surfers along the beach while the sun sets. A brief transfer will bring you back to your accommodations at the agroturismo.

Overnight Location: Hotel in Majori

Begin the morning with a transfer to Acqua Da Canna, where the trail is wild and untamed. You’ll trek up a sandy path to viewpoints overlooking the ocean and nearby towns- bring a camera! The trail is rugged, but you’ll feel like the only one enjoying this incredible place.

Begin the next portion of your walking tour of Sardinia with a ferry ride to Carloforte, where you’ll walk up a paved road to the northern side of the island. Here, they catch local tuna every May, so keep an eye on the lunch menu if you’re a seafood fan! You’ll take the ferry to Calasetta and then enjoy a private transfer to Sant’Antioco, where you can spend the rest of the evening drinking local wine and resting your legs.

The morning begins with a transfer to Capo Sperone, where you’ll walk under the impressive Torre Cannai watchtower on your way to the beach of Maladroxia. Take some time to revel in the sun before spending your afternoon as you please- you can take a fishing tour, go horseback riding, or take a self-guided archaeological walk through town. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to enjoy it!

All too soon, you’ll enjoy your last breakfast before packing up to begin the trip home. Until next time!
