7 days in Cagliari Itinerary

The capital of Sardinia, Cagliari is spread out over seven hills and still bears the marks of its past conquerors, including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, and Romans.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Spiaggia di Scivu and Spiaggia Piscina Rei. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Torre di Barì and Portixeddu. Change things up with these side-trips from Cagliari: Gelateria Amore Mio (in Villasimius), Teulada (Spiaggia di Tuerredda & Spiaggia Is Arenas Bianca), Nuraghe Arrubiu (in Orroli), Spiaggia Porto Pino (in Sant'Anna Arresi), Su Giudeo (in Domus de Maria), Spiaggia di Cea (in Bari Sardo), Spiaggia di Solanas (in Sinnai), spiaggia di Torre dei Corsari (in Arbus) and Tempio di Antas (in Fluminimaggiore). There's more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Chiesa di San Michele.
