Panoramic coastal navigation to the beautiful beach of Punta Molentis, a natural jewel characterized by crystal-clear waters, shallow waters and a breathtaking panorama. Here a stop is planned for pleasant dips in the sea and unforgettable moments of relaxation on the sand.

In the afternoon, after being served a tasty lunch with drinks included, navigation of the Marine Area resumes. Directly from the motorboat it will be possible to admire some of the most beautiful beaches of Villasimius. Depending on the winds, it will be possible to land on the beach of Cuccureddus or on the Island of Cabbages, and then dive to discover the wonderful seabed.

Tour aboard a comfortable bus to discover the beautiful white beaches that characterize this stretch of coastline. The first stop includes arrival at Cala Pira (Castiadas), where a stop of about an hour is planned for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters at the foot of majestic juniper-covered dunes, topped by the Spanish tower of the same name dating back to the 16th century.

We then resume the tour in the direction of Porto Giunco (Villasimius), a corner of paradise where the white expanse of sand plunges into the turquoise sea, creating a picture-postcard scenery. Behind the beach lies the Notteri pond, a wildlife oasis of naturalistic interest rich in flamingos, egrets, white and grey herons, and stilt-birds. Here a second stop of about an hour is made with free time to swim, relax and enjoy the sea.

Depart by bus to the beach of Cala Pira (Castiadas), over which a tower from the Aragonese era towers, for an initial stop of about an hour. We resume the tour toward Villasimius, at the well-known Simius beach, a kilometer of white sand stretching toward the Notteri pond.

The last two stops, again with stops of about an hour, take place at the enchanting beaches of Campus (Villasimius) and Santa Giusta (Castiadas), within walking distance of the enchanting Scoglio di Peppino easily reached with a short walk.
During this excursion it is possible, at the choice of each participant, to visit the town of Villasimius independently as an alternative to stopping at the beach of Simius or Campus.

Through the Flumendosa valley road, one reaches the Orroli plateau where the nuragic complex known as Nuraghe Arrubiu is located. The nuraghe, the only one surrounded by a wall articulated in five sides protected by as many towers, is the largest known so far.

A mighty structure, built of basalt boulders as red as the lichens that cover them (hence also the name “Arrubiu,” meaning “red”) and dominated by a gigantic central tower fourteen meters high. A defensive system that could guarantee security for the inhabitants of the huts that surrounded the 14th-century B.C. fortress.

We drive along the road that crosses the strip of land flanking Poetto beach and the Molentargius Lagoon nature reserve, where flamingos find refuge for nesting. The first stop is the hill of Our Lady of Bonaria, with the Aragonese church of the same name, and then on to the historic Rocca del Castello, which holds the true identity of Cagliari, with the famous Elephant and San Pancrazio Towers.

During this interesting walk through the ancient walls, special attention is paid to the noble Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption and St. Cecilia, an ensemble of architectural styles enhanced by the spectacular crypt with ceilings covered in 500 rosettes all different from each other.

Driving along the road to Portovesme, where the ferry to Carloforte is boarded, we can admire the Iglesias Mining Park along the way. Upon arrival in Carloforte, a city tour of the town’s typical streets awaits us, where the tour guide will tell the history of the island. After lunch (not included), we continue the guided tour to the Island of San Pietro, Capo Smeraldo, Tonnare, Colonne and Cala La Bobba, with a chance to take a dip in its crystal clear waters. In the afternoon, departure from Carloforte to Portovesme and return to the hotel.

Visit the Su Marmuri cave in the village of Ulassai, on the slopes of Tacco, an imposing limestone massif that characterizes the area. It is one of the most important caves in Europe, thanks to its size and its typical calcium formations. This large cavity, consisting of a succession of halls with stalagmite formations, stretches for a total length of 850 meters and was formed 150 million years ago by the force of water, which carved its way underground. Part of this ancient pathway has been preserved to the present day. From these caves, under certain weather conditions and heavy rainfall, the impressive Lequarci Falls emerge from a slope further downstream.

After passing through Campidano and the typical villages of Marmilla, a famous agricultural and wine-growing area of Sardinia, you will reach Tuili, a small agro-pastoral center. It continues to the Giara plateau, populated by the famous wild horses. To date, the Giara park can be considered one of the wildest and most unspoiled places in Europe. At the end of the visit to the park, lunch (included) at a typical agriturismo. In the afternoon, continue to Barumini where the Nuragic Village is located. Finally, short visit to the historic center of Tuili.

Half day exploring the most characteristic places on the southeast coast of Sardinia. The first visit is to the agricultural-artisan town of Castiadas, home to the former penal colony dating back to the 19th century. We continue to Costa Rei, a renowned tourist resort in southern Sardinia, where the excursion continues, driving along the scenic road to the Geo-Marine Park, where we can admire the beautiful islands of Serpentara, dei Cavoli and Capo Carbonara, the extreme tip of southeastern Sardinia. Arriving at the tourist village of Villasimius, shopping is possible.

Ideal experience for those who want to discover the natural wonders of the Capo Carbonara marine protected area, with specific dive spots between Serpentara Island, Cavoli Island and Santa Caterina Shoal.
