ardinia is famed as Italys most exotic island. An ancient port of call of Mediterranean merchants its a magical place dotted with hundreds of mystical stone structures known as Nuraghi . This enchanting and peaceful land is a real gem simply crying out to be explored and there really is no better way to discover it than on two wheels. Starting in the north of the island, you cant fail to be captivated by the continuous ever-changing landscape of sparkling colours. Our journey takes us along the high rising limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia and through the lush cork oak-forested Mt Ferru mountains. The route follows a stunningly beautiful coastline of sandy beaches, emerald green waters and jaw-dropping ocean views taking us all the way to the southern point of Sardinia. Blessed with a fantastic network of well-surfaced and car-free roads, this trip ensures great riding, renowned Sardinian hospitality and superb carbofilled, mouth-watering food. The Island is steeped in history and the route offers the possibility to stop and visit ancient nuragic sites, Roman baths, Carthaginian settlements and rural churches.
