Highlights
Costa Smeralda
From the port of Olbia to the tip of Capo Testa, some of the world's most beautiful beaches nestle within rugged coves, surrounded by water so clear and vibrant green that the region is known worldwide as the Costa Smeralda—the Emerald Coast.
Nuraghe Su Nuraxi
Remains of these stone towers are found all over Sardinia, most are in complete ruin, but this one is the best preserved. The timber found in the walls of the central tower dates back to 1500 BC and the outer towers were built in the 11th or 12th century BC.
Cagliari and Southern Sardinia
The southern coast of this island offers a glimpse into the infinite variety of Sardinia. From the medieval streets and high bastions of Cagliari, it is just a few kilometers from the ruins of the ancient city of Nora, where the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans had their trading posts.
Tharros and the Sinis Peninsula
This region is located in the central-western part of Sardinia, near the Gulf of Oristano. The peninsula is also home to an important archaeological site of the island: the archaeological site of Tharros. Founded by the Phoenicians, it quickly became an important trading hub, thanks to its strategic position.
