Bicycling Sardinia with Experience Plus !Tour Duration : 13 Days
This morning we cycle north to Capo Caccia, one of the most magnificent limestone headlands in Sardinia. Stop for a picnic on the beach, or head to the hotel for a swim at the pool or the beach. We'll suggest some of our favorite spots for dinner on your own this evening. Mileage: 55 km (34 miles). Day 3: Today we ride south along the coast road to Bosa. Explore this fascinating town and take in lunch before riding the last five kilometers to our hotel on the beach. You'll have time for an extra ride this afternoon, or you can spend it on the beach. Dinner together this evening. Mileage: 40 km (25 miles). Day 4: We go inland today where we will see a bit of the real Sardinia. (Since Roman times, the Sardinians have never really lived by the sea!) We'll go through the villages of Flussio and Tinnura, where the women still weave baskets from dried asphodel plants. From Cuglieri it's a downhill ride to the farm villages where we'll stay two nights. The Farmers' Cooperative here has coordinated a successful agritourism trade, where tourists like us can enjoy local hospitality, including lodging and dining with farm families. Mileage: 65 km (41 miles). Day 5: Today is a day off the bikes for those who want a rest. We'll organize an optional ride out to the Roman ruins of Tharros on the coast. Enjoy a relaxing swim at the beach before returning to the village for dinner together. Mileage (for those who ride to Tharros): 50 km (31 miles). Day 6: We go inland again today, following the Tirso River to Fordongianus. Then, it's a climb from here to Allai and then again to Samugheo, known for its white, woolen rugs. From there, we continue on to our hotel in the town of Sorgono where we've discovered world-class ice cream! Dinner together. Mileage: 85 km (48 miles). Day 7: We wind our way around the mountains of Gennargentu today - from Sorgono to Mamoiada, Orgosolo, and Oliena - before reaching our hotel in Su Gologone. Enjoy a dip in the hotel pool after a long day. Dinner together. Mileage: 92 km (58 miles).
This morning we leave our bikes behind and shuttle into the limestone mountains towering above our hotel. We'll hike to some of the ruins and rock dwellings of the pre-Roman Nuragic civilization that once inhabited this area. After our hike, we'll share a barbecue in the mountains with local shepherds. We'll have a light dinner together in our hotel after a swim in the pool. Day 9: This is a rest day at Su Gologone. Enjoy the pool, take a walk, or ride to Nuoro for the day to see the rugs and handicrafts. Lunch will be on your own, but we'll gather in the hotel for dinner. Mileage (for those who ride to Nuoro): 45 km (27 miles). Day 10: Hold on to your hats and fasten your toe clips. We go from 100 meters to 1,000 meters and back down to sea level as we cycle through some of the most spectacular limestone mountains in the Mediter-ranean basin. You'll want to stop in Dorgali to see the rugs and taste the olive oil. Tonight we'll stay near the beach in Santa Maria Navarrese. Dinner togeth-er. Mileage: 78 km (49 miles). Day 11: Today's an easier ride, with gently rolling terrain through Bari Sardo, Ierzu, and Villaputzu. We'll stop to visit a cheese factory near Bari Sardo before continuing on to Tertenia and Muravera. Our hotel is on the beach beyond Muravera. Dinner together. Mileage: 93 km (58 miles). Day 12: We cycle the southeast coast to Maracalagonis today. Enjoy a light lunch there before we shuttle on to the Sardinian capital of Cagliari (pronounced 'call-ya-ree'). You'll have time for a walk in the medieval square this afternoon before we head off for a great final dinner. Mileage: 58 km (35 miles). Day 13: After breakfast, we'll say goodbye. Or, maybe you'll stay a few extra days in this Mediterranean paradise. Total Mileage: 566-661 km (353-413 miles).
