Description

Day 1: Cagliari
Private transfer or individual arrival in Cagliari. After settling in and storing your luggage, take time to visit this amazing city.

Day 2: Cagliari – Muravera (90 km; +800 m)
The journey begins with a ride along Poetto, the long white sand beach of 10 km in Cagliari, which is highly treasured by the locals. The journey continues along the beautiful coastal road for Villasimius. This scenic route was included in the routes of Giro d'Italia 2007 and 2017.

Day 3: Muravera – Orroli (75 km; +1400 m)
Leave the coast and start exploring Sardinia's inland. After climbing the hills of Gerrei, head towards Lake Mulargia and end your cycling day in Orroli, the village of centenarians. Orroli is indeed a Blue Zone, a place where people live much longer than the average.

Day 4: Orroli – Baressa (77 km; +700 m)
Continue pedaling along the paths beaten on the gentle hills of Marmilla, where the plateau of Giara lies. Large panoramic roads without traffic will lead you to a part of Sardinia rich in history. At Su Nuraxi, in the village of Barumini, the Nuragic civilization reached the height of its development. Su Nuraxi is listed in Unesco's World Heritage sites.

Day 5: Baressa – Buggerru (80 km; 800 m)
Today you will cycle to the west and cross the fields of Campidano. Enjoy the spectacular 7 km descent before reaching the golden beach of Portixeddu. End the day in the small village of Buggerru, formerly an important mining town. The mines were abandoned many years ago, but many remains are still visible.

Day 6: Buggerru – Sant’Antioco (67 or 84 km; 700/900 m)
Leave Buggerru heading south along a spectacular coast. Beautifully surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, is the village of Nebida, where you can admire the rock of Sugarloaf and the ancient mineral laundry of Lamarmora. This is a unique example of industrial archeology, immersed in the Mediterranean scrub, overlooking the sea at the end of a long descent. Then go from one island to another to Carloforte, where the locals still fish for red tuna. Overnight in the center of the village of Sant'Antioco, where you can enjoy the lively local life.

Day 7: Sant’Antioco – Pula (85 km; 650 m)
The final cycling tour is in the beautiful South Coast with its sparkling white beaches, unspoiled natural landscape, and imposing cliffs. This coastal road, a sequence of 20 km of short climbs and exciting descents, is undoubtedly one of the best cycling roads in all of Sardinia. In Nora explore the ancient Phoenician settlement, before celebrating the end of this fantastic journey with a cold Ichnusa beer in Pula.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
