On top of that, the city makes an <strong>ideal strategic base<\/strong> for exploring the entire southern coast, so you certainly won&#8217;t be twiddling your thumbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide you&#8217;ll find <strong>13 things to see and do in Cagliari<\/strong> so you can squeeze every last drop out of your holiday.

That said, travellers agree that if you want to enjoy a swim without the maddening crowds, <strong>June and September are the best months<\/strong>. In July and August temperatures regularly climb to 35 \u00b0C, the city bakes, and accommodation prices shoot up at rocket speed. September, on the other hand, offers the <strong>warmest sea of the whole year<\/strong> (around 24 \u00b0C) and far pleasanter air for strolling around the sights. In short, the Cagliari, Sardinia weather is mild for most of the year, which is part of its charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you fly into Cagliari-Elmas airport, you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised by how <strong>brilliantly simple the journey into the centre is<\/strong>. A train runs straight from the terminal and gets you to the main station on Piazza Matteotti in an incredible 7 minutes. The ticket costs a wallet-friendly <strong>\u20ac1.30<\/strong>, so you&#8217;ll save yourself all the hassle of hunting for a taxi. Trains run very frequently and you can check the current timetable on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trenitalia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official Trenitalia website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city centre itself is <strong>easy enough to explore on foot<\/strong> if you&#8217;ve a bit of stamina, though you should be prepared for the historic quarter to sit on a fairly steep hill. Luckily, there&#8217;s a system of public lifts to spare you the worst of the climbs \ud83d\ude05. If you fancy renting a car for day trips, be extremely <strong>wary of the so-called ZTL zones<\/strong> (Zona a Traffico Limitato). Cars without a permit are banned from the Castello, Marina and Villanova districts, and the ever-present cameras dish out automatic fines ranging from \u20ac80 to \u20ac200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_right_in_Cagliari\"><\/span>What to see right in Cagliari<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look together at the most interesting things to see in the streets of Cagliari itself. The city is split into several historic districts, each with a completely different atmosphere, and <strong>you&#8217;ll find a little bit of everything here<\/strong> \u2014 from breathtaking viewpoints and mysterious underground crypts to endless beaches and nature reserves teeming with life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Castello_district_and_its_historic_lanes\"><\/span>1. The Castello district and its historic lanes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of the whole city is the medieval fortified district of Castello, which towers majestically on a hill high above the harbour. This is exactly where <strong>you&#8217;ll find Cagliari&#8217;s most iconic landmarks<\/strong> and narrow cobbled lanes where time seems to have stood still. It was once home to the aristocracy, and to this day the crumbling palaces give off that wonderfully weathered yet incredibly noble Italian romance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1032\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f.jpg\" alt=\"The medieval Torre di San Pancrazio tower in the Castello district of Cagliari\" class=\"wp-image-229563\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f-700x452.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f-1536x991.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f-696x449.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sanpanc_f-1392x898.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The medieval Torre di San Pancrazio tower in the Castello district of Cagliari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On your walk you simply mustn&#8217;t miss the two main defensive towers from the Pisan era. The first is the <strong>Torre dell&#8217;Elefante (Elephant Tower)<\/strong>, which got its name from the small elephant statue mounted on its fa\u00e7ade. The second is the equally striking Torre di San Pancrazio. Both towers once served as prisons, and the severed heads of criminals are said to have been thrown down from them as a warning \u2014 a touch grisly, perhaps, but all the more fascinating for it \ud83d\ude05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bastione_di_Saint_Remy_and_the_sunsets\"><\/span>2. Bastione di Saint Remy and the sunsets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love a good view as much as I do, this spot will absolutely blow you away. The Bastione di Saint Remy is a <strong>huge neoclassical terrace<\/strong> built from white and yellow limestone, linking the upper Castello district with the lower parts of the city. Its monumental staircase looks incredibly grand and the whole thing feels like the set of some historical film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bastione di Saint Remy and the sunsets in Cagliari\" class=\"wp-image-227813\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1-700x486.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1-1536x1066.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1-696x483.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-1-1392x966.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bastione di Saint Remy and the sunsets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But the real magic comes the moment you climb up to the Umberto I terrace. From here a <strong>breathtaking panoramic view of the entire city<\/strong> opens up, taking in the harbour and the distant sea. Travellers all agree it&#8217;s the very best spot in Cagliari for watching the sunset. In the evenings the locals gather here, music plays, and with a slice of pizza in hand it&#8217;s an experience that&#8217;s hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Santa_Maria_Cathedral_and_its_crypt\"><\/span>3. Santa Maria Cathedral and its crypt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Right in the heart of the Castello district you&#8217;ll come across the city&#8217;s main cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. From the outside its <strong>Pisan-Romanesque fa\u00e7ade from the early 20th century<\/strong> might surprise you with its rather austere look, but don&#8217;t be fooled. The moment you step inside, you&#8217;ll be dazzled by the lavish Baroque d\u00e9cor full of marble, frescoes and golden details \u2014 a sharp contrast to its exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1267\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2.jpg\" alt=\"Santa Maria Cathedral in Cagliari\" class=\"wp-image-229550\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2-700x554.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2-768x608.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2-1536x1216.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2-696x551.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-2-1392x1102.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Santa Maria Cathedral in Cagliari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most intriguing part, though, according to many visitors, lies underground. The <strong>Sanctuary of the Martyrs (Santuario dei Martiri)<\/strong> is a unique crypt carved into the rock, where nearly two hundred relics of alleged Christian martyrs are kept. The crypt&#8217;s ceiling is covered with hundreds of beautiful rosettes chiselled into the stone, and the atmosphere here is highly distinctive \u2014 almost mystical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_Roman_amphitheatre_carved_into_the_rock\"><\/span>4.

The local Roman amphitheatre, dating from the 1st to 2nd century AD, is largely <strong>carved straight into the natural limestone rock<\/strong>, which makes it an absolute architectural one-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1059\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3.jpg\" alt=\"The Roman amphitheatre in Cagliari carved into the rock\" class=\"wp-image-229551\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3-700x463.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3-696x461.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-3-1392x921.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Roman amphitheatre in Cagliari carved into the rock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In its heyday it could squeeze in <strong>up to 8,000 enthusiastic spectators<\/strong>, who watched brutal gladiator fights and battles with wild animals.

The Cittadella dei Musei complex houses the National Archaeological Museum, which holds the <strong>world&#8217;s most significant collection of the Nuragic culture<\/strong>.

These are enormous statues of warriors and archers, over two metres tall, with utterly hypnotic, geometrically precise eyes. They look almost alien.

Once a quarter of fishermen and dock workers, today it&#8217;s a <strong>buzzing hub of nightlife and great food<\/strong>. The narrow lanes here are literally packed with little family-run trattorias, caf\u00e9s and bars where the locals come to enjoy themselves late into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5.jpg\" alt=\"The Marina district and the Via Roma waterfront in Cagliari\" class=\"wp-image-229552\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-5-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Marina district and the Via Roma waterfront in Cagliari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the morning it would be a sin not to visit the famous <strong>covered Mercato di San Benedetto<\/strong>. It&#8217;s one of the largest markets in all of Italy, and the real theatre plays out on the ground floor, where fishmongers loudly hawk their fresh catch. Upstairs you&#8217;ll find an incredible selection of cheeses, fresh fruit and local specialities. It&#8217;s said to be the best place to pick up some aromatic souvenirs to bring home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Poetto_beach_and_the_Sella_del_Diavolo_hill\"><\/span>7. Poetto beach and the Sella del Diavolo hill<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cagliari has one enormous advantage over many other cities. Just a stone&#8217;s throw from the centre stretches the <strong>8-kilometre-long Poetto beach<\/strong> with its fine white sand, so you can wander the sights in the morning and lounge by the sea in the afternoon. The water here is shallow and beautifully clear, and a promenade lined with little kiosks runs the whole length of the beach, where you can grab an iced drink or a coffee. It&#8217;s one of the loveliest Cagliari, Sardinia beaches you can reach without a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6.jpg\" alt=\"The Poetto city beach in Cagliari\" class=\"wp-image-229553\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/caglia-6-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Poetto city beach in Cagliari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the beach rises an unmissable rocky hill known as the <strong>Sella del Diavolo, or the Devil&#8217;s Saddle<\/strong>. According to legend, this shape was formed when the devil fell from his horse during a battle with the angels and his saddle turned to stone. A lovely hiking trail loops around the hill, takes about an hour and a half, and rewards you with the best views over the entire bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_Molentargius_wetlands_and_pink_flamingos\"><\/span>8. The Molentargius wetlands and pink flamingos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an experience you probably wouldn&#8217;t expect in a big city. Just behind Poetto beach lies the sprawling Molentargius nature park, which used to be a salt-extraction site. Today it&#8217;s a protected reserve famous for the fact that <strong>huge flocks of pink flamingos nest here all year round<\/strong>. The locals affectionately call them &#8220;sa genti arrubia&#8221;, which translates as the red people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f.jpg\" alt=\"Pink flamingos in the Molentargius lagoon near Cagliari\" class=\"wp-image-229567\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f-696x348.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/flam_f-1392x696.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pink flamingos in the Molentargius lagoon near Cagliari<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explore the park is to <strong>rent a bike and ride the dedicated trails<\/strong>, since covering the vast distances on foot would be pretty tiring. You&#8217;ll really see the flamingos up close and in the wild, which is an absolutely stunning sight. Entry to the park is free, and you&#8217;ll find more information and bike-hire options on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcomolentargius.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Parco Molentargius website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_The_Orto_Botanico_botanical_garden\"><\/span>9.

The botanical garden, run by the University of Cagliari, is a <strong>green oasis of calm right in the middle of the city<\/strong>.

It&#8217;s the perfect place to <strong>rest for a while with a book<\/strong> or simply sit on a bench and listen to the birdsong.

The surroundings of the capital offer <strong>the most beautiful beaches and fascinating archaeological sites<\/strong>. Renting a car for a few days is ideal, but bear in mind that driving on Sardinian roads is slower going, and 60 kilometres can easily take an hour and a half.

The ancient city of Nora near Pula<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About 40 minutes&#8217; drive to the west lies one of the most important archaeological sites on the island. Nora is an <strong>ancient Phoenician-Roman city<\/strong> built on a small peninsula lapped by the sea. The ruins sit in an utterly stunning setting, and you can wander among the remains of old baths, admire well-preserved mosaics, or take a seat in the stone theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3.jpg\" alt=\"The ancient city of Nora near Pula\" class=\"wp-image-227814\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-3-1392x929.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The ancient city of Nora near Pula<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A large part of the original city now <strong>lies beneath the surface of the sea<\/strong>, which lends the place an even more mysterious air. After exploring the ruins, you can take a dip on the adjacent beach. Admission costs around \u20ac8, and before you go I&#8217;d recommend a quick look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/nora.beniculturali.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official archaeological park website<\/a> to check the opening hours for the current season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Caribbean-style_beaches_and_sand_dunes_in_Chia\"><\/span>11.

It&#8217;s about an hour from Cagliari, and the whole bay is famous for its <strong>dazzling white sand and turquoise water<\/strong>. The entire coastline is fringed with tall golden dunes covered in old <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Juniper hotel\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/juniper-hotel\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">juniper<\/a> trees, creating an utterly dreamlike landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1071\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia.jpg\" alt=\"Caribbean-style beaches and sand dunes in Chia\" class=\"wp-image-227809\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia-696x466.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/sard-chia-1392x932.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Caribbean-style beaches and sand dunes in Chia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous beach in this area is <strong>Spiaggia di Su Giudeu<\/strong>, which ranks among the very loveliest on the whole island. The water here is incredibly clear and stays shallow for a good while, so it&#8217;s said to be ideal for families with children. Watching over the whole bay is the old watchtower Torre di Chia, to which you can take a short walk and snap a photo of the bay from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_The_Villasimius_resort_and_Capo_Carbonara\"><\/span>12.

The whole area falls under the <strong>Capo Carbonara protected marine reserve<\/strong>, which means you&#8217;ll find fantastic conditions for snorkelling and the underwater life here is positively thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1434\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5.jpg\" alt=\"The Villasimius resort and Capo Carbonara\" class=\"wp-image-227815\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-700x523.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-1536x1147.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-696x520.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-5-1392x1040.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Villasimius resort and Capo Carbonara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The absolute star is the local <strong>Porto Giunco beach<\/strong>, which has one big quirk. On one side it&#8217;s lapped by crystal-clear sea, while on the other lies a large shallow lagoon where pink flamingos very often wade. Just be aware that some of the beaches here (Punta Molentis, for example) have limited capacity and charge fairly hefty parking fees of around \u20ac10 per car, so it pays to arrive as early in the morning as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_The_stone_fortress_of_Su_Nuraxi_di_Barumini\"><\/span>13.

About an hour&#8217;s drive inland lies Su Nuraxi di Barumini, the <strong>best-preserved and most famous Nuragic complex on the island<\/strong>.

You can <strong>only see inside the tower itself<\/strong>, which once stood over 18 metres tall, as part of a guided tour \u2014 but that&#8217;s no bad thing at all, as the guides will explain plenty of fascinating details about this civilisation, which to this day isn&#8217;t fully understood.

The city isn&#8217;t huge, but with its hills and car restrictions it&#8217;s worth thinking carefully about what you want from your holiday. Seasoned travellers tend to avoid hotels right by the harbour and instead opt for the <strong>quieter historic centre or hotels closer to the sea<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re coming mainly for sightseeing, set aside a budget of roughly \u20ac80 to \u20ac130 per night for two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>For lovers of history and romance (Castello):<\/strong> The most beautiful views and the magical atmosphere of the old town are found in the Castello district. The downside is that you can&#8217;t drive in (ZTL zone) and you&#8217;ll have to trudge uphill, but that morning coffee in a narrow lane is said to be worth it.<\/li><li><strong>For foodies and nightlife (Marina):<\/strong> If you want everything close by \u2014 to simply step out of your hotel in the evening and sit down in an excellent trattoria \u2014 look for accommodation in the Marina district. It&#8217;s livelier here, but you can be sure you&#8217;ll never be short of entertainment.<\/li><li><strong>For beach enthusiasts (Poetto):<\/strong> If you want to spend most of your time by the sea and only pop into the city now and then, look for guesthouses along Poetto beach. Buses run here from the centre, and the sea is literally across the street.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Specific accommodation tips<\/strong> across the regions (check prices and availability via <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, and book early in high season):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Villa%20Las%20Tronas&#038;address=Alghero%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Villa Las Tronas<\/a> <em>(Alghero)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Su%20Gologone%20Experience%20Hotel&#038;address=Oliena%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Su Gologone Experience Hotel<\/a> <em>(Oliena)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Nuraghe%20Arvu&#038;address=Cala%20Gonone%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Nuraghe Arvu<\/a> <em>(Cala Gonone)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Cala%20Cuncheddi&#038;address=Olbia%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Cala Cuncheddi<\/a> <em>(Olbia)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Nautilus&#038;address=Villasimius%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Nautilus<\/a> <em>(Villasimius)<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_taste_in_Cagliari\"><\/span>What to taste in Cagliari<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sardinian cuisine is completely different from mainland Italian <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Fare Bare - d\u011btsk\u00e9 barefoot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/fare-bare-detske-barefoot\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">fare<\/a>. It&#8217;s very rustic, built on bold flavours, quality cheeses and herbs. The good news is that even though the island is surrounded by sea, <strong>the cornerstones of the local gastronomy grew up inland among the shepherds<\/strong>, so the menu is absolutely brilliant for vegetarians too. Local food is simply an experience that&#8217;s an inseparable part of travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An absolute must-try is <strong>culurgiones<\/strong>. These are beautifully hand-pleated pasta parcels resembling an ear of wheat, hiding a heavenly filling of potato, sharp pecorino sardo cheese and fresh mint. They&#8217;re usually served with a simple tomato sauce, and it&#8217;s quite simply heaven on a plate. In restaurants you&#8217;ll also almost always be brought <strong>pane carasau<\/strong>, an extremely thin, crispy shepherd&#8217;s bread that used to keep for months on end, which the locals often drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt (then it&#8217;s called pane guttiau).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for something sweet? Be sure not to miss the dessert called <strong>seadas (or sebadas)<\/strong>. These are large fried pastry pockets stuffed with young sheep&#8217;s cheese, drenched while warm in a generous helping of local honey and lemon zest. The combination of sweet and savoury is incredibly addictive. If you&#8217;d like to explore the local meat and fish specialities too, travellers often mention the famous slow-roasted suckling pig (porceddu) or pasta dusted with bottarga \u2014 dried, grated fish roe nicknamed Sardinian caviar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next\"><\/span>Where to go next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sardinia is enormous and offers countless other places to explore.
