Description

Revel in the contrasts of Cagliari with a visit to its natural attractions and a striking 14th-century convent, where you’ll indulge in some local delicacies. Travel along Cagliari’s coast to a rocky formation known as the Devil’s Saddle, from which you’ll view a small harbor that shelters pleasure craft and a beach stretching between the sea and the salt marshes. Discover the marshes take on an extraordinary scarlet color when water evaporation is at its peak, and in winter they attract a large number of migratory birds, especially the pink flamingo. Snap a few photos at Poetto Beach, a velvety stretch of very fine sand, and continue to Mount Urpino for a view of the entire area surrounding Cagliari. Appreciate a refreshing visit to the beautiful Saint Joseph Convent, where you’ll sample traditional Sardinian snacks and wines. You’ll learn the convent dates back seven centuries and is of enormous historic and architectural interest, as its walls exemplify the use of ladiri, a Sardinian mud brick. Conclude your tour with a brief drive through the city center, stopping at a viewpoint just outside the Old Town to contemplate the riches of this glorious island.
