Sardinia south side

Feast on local products

We have not cracked the secret of Sardinian longevity, but we are sure that the cuisine has its part in it. Pecorino (sheep's cheese), charcuterie, olive oil, tomato gnocchi, myrtle liqueur and white wines... impossible to keep on a diet! In Cagliari, at Sapori di Sardegna (Vico dei Mille, 1), you can stock up on fresh or aged pecorino, pane carasau (bread as thin as paper), smoked boar sausage or coppa. On a bike ride, you can visit local cheese factories and farmhouses. And at Forte Village, which hosts the largest concentration of starred chefs in the world, take advantage of the Cooking Academy to become a pro at risotto, focaccia or stuffed pasta.

Swimming in tropical waters

Immaculate sand and turquoise waters:it feels like the Caribbean! The sea is warmer than in the north of the island and the beaches more preserved. Want to dive? We take advantage of the many wrecks present in the Gulf of Angels to say hello to the sargues, pomfrets or groupers that are hiding there. And we take the road to the Costa del Sud to enjoy the most beautiful beaches – Su Giudeu, ideal for children, Chia, paradise for surfers – without forgetting to make a detour by Nora to visit the ruins of its ancient city camped on a peninsula.
