SardiniaTo discover Sardinia away from the tourist’ routes means cycling through unspoilt landscapes, experiencing the turquoise blue sea and wonderful beaches, following the traces of the Nuragher and the Phoenicians; watching the last wild horses, and enjoying the culinary secrets of Sardinian cuisine. These are the impressions we want to offer you on this bike tour through South Sardinia.


Route Features

The route is flat and hilly with one longer ascent. Mostly on asphalted side roads, short passages on gravel roads. Magnificent descents and panorama passes are part of an unforgettable experience.
