10 years on the road together – This time Sardinia!
We start in Cagliari and head south. Already on the first day, we will get a taste of what awaits us – narrow roads, the sea close by, charming villages and of course time for both coffee and a nice lunch along the way. Our first destination will be Chia, at the very south of Sardinia, with white beaches and the almost unreal turquoise-blue sea. From there awaits what I think could be one of the trip's real highlights. We follow the spectacular coastal road SP71 from Chia towards Teulada. Winding narrow roads, the Mediterranean far below and new views around almost every single bend. Sardinia is much more than just sea and beaches. From Teulada, we therefore turn inland and drive through the mountains and wine regions of Sulcis. Here there will be fewer tourists, small villages and a completely different Sardinia – and of course, we will have a proper Sardinian lunch before continuing out towards the island of Sant’Antioco. A cool place where we will also spend the night.
The next day we drive on towards Nebida, Masua and Porto Flavia, where the mountains plunge almost straight down into the sea. Old mining areas, dramatic cliffs and Pan di Zucchero rising out of the Mediterranean. I think this could be one of those days where we stop a bit more often than planned – simply because there is so much to see. Our last overnight stay will be in the old town of Iglesias. Since the flight departs late the next day, we will of course make the most of that day too. Instead of the fastest route back to Cagliari, we take the narrow roads through the mountains and the green inland. A final coffee stop, a good lunch – and then we roll into Cagliari and return the Vespas before heading home.
As usual, we transport the luggage from hotel to hotel. New roads, new experiences and a completely new area. I think Sardinia could be really great!
