For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: long roads and wind are frequent. 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.
Island
Sant'Antioco
Sant的Antioco seduces by its mixed views of coastal history and current life, without any tourist showcase effect. The visitor gains in understanding by traveling both the centre and the seaside, where the light changes the atmospheres minute by minute. A short-sequence approach allows you to grasp the real urban texture.
Town or village
Carloforte
Carloforte carries an island identity that is legible from the first streets: architecture, port, small squares, rhythms of life. The buildings interact with the surrounding landscape and give a coherent island impression, shaped by the sea as well as by local history. To stroll for a few hours, to observe gestures and alignments, is better than an express race.
Heritage
Porto Flavia
Porto Flavia observes as a piece of coast transformed by human ingenuity: viewpoints, rocks and water frame a singular course. The place really understands itself through a small circuit, when one alternates distant points of view and approaches closer to structures. The contrasts of wind and light are used here as a guide.
Coast
Nebida
Nebida offers a clear, almost minimalist coastal experience: beaches, cliffs, sea breaths and small ground breaks. The passages between exposed areas and protected corners bring up a game of shadows that changes quickly, like a series of paintings. The place is suitable for a continuous walk, without strict itinerary.
