General presentation
Cagliari et sud de la Sardaigne
South Sardinian between sunny capital, lagoons, clear beaches, archeological sites and Mediterranean Caps.
The discovery of Cagliari and southern Sardinia revolves around Cagliari, Poetto and Nora. The stay thus alternates between urban life, coastline, heritage and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be expected: summer heat and beaches very much needed. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Cagliari
Cagliari Overlays high districts, harbour, lagoons and lively avenues in a city more complex than a simple gate of Sardinian entrance. Castello dominates the whole with its towers and ramparts, while markets, stairs and views to the Gulf give the stay a very varied material.
Place
Poetto
Poetto unfolds the great beach of Cagliari between the city, the salines and the silhouette of the Sella del Diavolo. We come there to swim as much as to observe the local life: runners, families, kiosks, bicycles and razing light make up a daily coastline, accessible without really leaving the city.
Place
Nora
In Nora, the charm arises from the passage between vestiges and current spaces: thresholds, walls, views on the shore. The site explores by strata, observing the transition between exterior, protected areas and small paths. The slow rhythm turns the visit into a real understanding of the archaeological framework.
Heritage
Villasimius
Villasimius offers a clear transition between town, beaches and intermediate spaces, with an atmosphere that varies according to the tide of passage. The alleyways and coastal environment give a sense of continuity that is captured by walking between center and edge of water.
