Day 1:
Arrival at Olbia by boat or by flight. You'll reach Palau to get a ferry to the La Maddalena island for a panoramic tour. It offers a large variety of sandy and rocky beaches. By another ferry you'll reach Caprera the island where Giuseppe Garibaldi (a military Italian hero who fought to unite Italy into a single kingdom) spent the last years of his life. Then you'll visit the famous Costa Smeralda/Emerald coast, with stops in the famous jet-set resorts of Porto Cervo and Baia Sardinia. Overnight in Santa Teresa di Gallura area.
Day 2:
After the visit of Santa Teresa di Gallura and the granite rock forms of nearby Capo Testa, you'll reach Castelsardo dominated by the rest of a castle. This village is well-known also for its characteristic craftsmanship (famous are the baskets made of woven vegetal fibres) and for the "Rock of Elephant", a rock similar to an elephant with its trunk turned towards the street. Dinner and overnight in Alghero area.
Day 3:
Visit of the city of Alghero, a tourist town that is also a flourishing fishing port. The predominate flavor here is Catalan, owing to a wholesale Hispanicization. The traces are still strong in the old town with its flamboyant churches, wrought-iron balconies and narrow cobbled streets named in both Italian and Catalan. Visit to Capo Caccia, where the spectacular sheer cliffs are riddled by deep marine caves. The most impressive is the Grotta di Nettuno with fantastical stalagmites and stalactites. Short visit of the pretty Bosa, that combines the curiosity of the medieval town and its monuments with the nice sandy beach nearby. Nature did great work along the coast of Bosa. The bastions overlooking the sea, the little, stony creeks and the wild scenery are all exclusive elements of this surprising landscape.
Day 4:
Today we'll reach first Oristano for the visit of the Sinis Peninsula, with sandy beaches, the ruins of the ancient Tharros and the change to see flamingos. The ancient city of Tharros set impeccably by the sea, reached the height of
its importance under the Carthaginians, but what is visible today largely dates to Roman era. In the afternoon you'll visit Sa Nuraxi in Barumini. As early as 1800 BC Sardinians started raising rudimentary defensive towers, the "nuraghi". The creators of them were fine engineers as in some complex form there were conical towers of several levels, held together by the force of gravity. Sa Nuraxi is the biggest, the most famous and perhaps the oldest of them, giving us a good taste of the primitive grandeur of the island's only indigenous civilization. Overnight in Cagliari area.
Day 5:
In the morning visit of the city of Cagliari, the Sardinia's capital at least since Roman times and still its biggest town. You'll enjoy the hilly labyrinth of the sandy-colored medieval Castello district, the taverns and restaurants around the Marina district, several fine monuments and the archaeology museum with its priceless nuraghic collections. In the afternoon excursion to Villasimius and panoramic tour to Capo Carbonara.
Day 6:
Departure to the inland of Sardinia to reach Nuoro that has impressive literary credentials and a good ethnographic museum, with everything from traditional costumes to household implements of a bygone age. You'll drive towards deeper into the mountains to Orgosolo. It means sheep-rustlers and bandits to most people. Here you'll have a typical special lunch with the shepherds. Then you'll reach Olbia, for departure.
