Your trip starts in Cagliari, well known for the Castello, a fortified medieval hillside district located above the rest of the city. Architectural attractions include Cagliari's 13thcentury Cathedral. Housed in a former arsenal, Cagliari's National Archaeological Museum exhibits bronze objects, Roman ceramics, and artifacts from the Nuragic age through the Byzantine era. If you are lucky, you can spot flamingos relaxing in the surrounding ponds.

After breakfast a private transfer will take you and your bikes
to Nebida from where you will start your coastal daily cycle
about 25 km to the port of Portovesme, where you take the
ferry to the Island of San Pietro. When you dock at Carloforte
harbour you soon start noticing the different accent the
Carlofortini have: in fact they have Genoese roots and speak a
different dialect from the rest of Sardinians. After a walk/ride
in Carloforte you take another ferry, this time to Calasetta, on
Sant’Antioco Island, home of some excellent wines.

This morning your first stop is the village of Tratalias, with its romanic church dedicated to S. Maria di Montserrat. The ‘ghost’ village with just a few renovated stone houses will take you back to the enchanted atmosphere of the ancient Tatalia, once enclosed by three ‘Baroque’ arches (two are still intact), which may have been entrances to the citadel. You then descend towards Porto Pino along a beautiful countryside and vineyards.
