Day 1: Arrival in Cagliari

Private transfer or independent arrival to Cagliari, overnight. Overnight in Hotel Italia or Hotel Villa Sveva(or equal) including breakfast.

2nd day: Cagliari-Muravera (90 Km, climb 800 mt)

You start on a high riding along the Poetto, the Cagliari 10km white sandy beach, very dear to the locals. Then tackle the amazing coastal road to Villasimius. This scenic road was included in the 2007 and 2017 Giro D’Italia routes. Come and witness why, with your eyes and legs. Overnight in Domu Incantada or equal.

3rd day: Muravera-Orroli (75 Km, climb 1400 mt)

Leave the coast and start exploring inland Sardinia. After climbing the hills of Gerrei, head towards the Lake Mulargia and finish your cycling day in Orroli, the centenarians’ village. Orroli is a blue zone, a place where people leave much longer than average. You’ll find out why with a healthy food dinner! Overnight in B&B Sa Pardina or equal.

4th day: Orroli-Baressa (77 Km, climb 700 mt)

Keep riding off the beaten path on the rolling hills Marmilla, where the Giara Plateau lays. Great scenic roads with no traffic will lead you to a part of Sardinia rich in history.

Overnight in Albergo Diffuso Il Mandorlo or equivalent.

5 thDAY: Baressa-Buggerru (80 Km, climb 800 mt)

Back to the coast! Ride west and cross the fields of Campidano. Enjoy a spectacular 7 kms long descent before reaching the golden beach of Portixeddu.

Overnight in Buggeru at La Rosa dei Venti or equal..

6th day: Buggerru-Sant’Antioco (67/84 Km, climb 700/900 mt)

Leave Buggerru heading South along a dramatic coastline. Beautifully surrounded by Mediterra-nean bush, is the village of Nebida, where you can admire the looming mass of Pan di Zucchero cliff and the old Lamarmora ore washery. Nestled in the Mediterranean bush, it looks out over the sea at the end of a long descent down 540 steps. Then go island hopping to Carloforte, where locals still fish the Red Tuna fish, and Sant’Antioco. Overnight in Sant’Antioco village centre, where you can enjoy the local lively lifestyle. Overnight in the cozy Muma hotel.

7th day: Sant’Antioco-Pula (85 Km, climb 650 mt)

Final catwalk of your tour is the beautiful Costa del Sud with its gleaming white beaches, unspoilt natural landscape and imposing cliffs. This coastal road, a 20 km sequence of short climbs and exciting descents, is without a doubt one of the best cycling roads all over Sardinia. At Nora, explo-re the ancient Phoenician settlement, before celebrating the end of this fantastic trip with a cold Ichnusa beer in Pula. Overnight in Hotel Villa Madau or Hotel Marinor or equal.

Muma Hostel

Because staying here is living on the seafront: it’s waking up to the cry of the seagulls announcing the arrival of the boats with the freshest fish, sharing the reception with the Museum of the Sea and Shipwrights, a little jewel that tells the story of the aquatic flora and fauna of the lagoon and preserves the memory of the naval carpentry of Sant’Antioco. It’s having the island at hand, with its beaches, cliffs, the humanity of its seafarers, the great history of its Phoenician origins, the rituals in costume dedicated to the namesake saint martyr and patron saint of all Sardinia.
