General presentation
Oristano et peninsule du Sinis
Western Sardinian more discreet, between quartz beaches, lagoons, ancient site, villages and natural atmosphere.
To understand what Oristano and Sinis Peninsula is, you have to look at Tharros, Is Arutas and Cabras. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by the coastline, natural spaces and heritage and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: frequent wind and out-of-season boundary services. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. 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
Tharros
Tharros It consists of a dialogue between remains and water, often fully grasped by lateral routes. The walk reveals the logic of its implantation, where openings and visual chains follow naturally. A slow passage allows to distinguish the textures and geometry of the site.
Place
Cabras
Cabras serves as a gateway to the ponds and the coast of Sinis, with a village life still oriented towards fishing and the lowlands. Between the center, the neighbouring lagoons and the roads to Tharros or Is Arutas, the landscape alternates simple houses, reeds, boats and salty light.
Place
Oristano
Oristano The city has a measured pace, pleasant for a stop between the Sinis and the hinterland, especially when the terraces are sancing at the end of the day. The city is surrounded by a quiet square, its shopping arcades and the medieval traces that touch around the tower of Mariano II and the cathedral.
