Walking In Sardinia

8 days - from $1540

Superb daywalks amid rich and charming scenery
Often referred to as the 'land of silence', Sardinia is a place of outstanding natural beauty, with crystal-clear rivers, limestone ridges and deep gorges. As well as stunning beaches, the Dorgali area attracts archaeologists from all over the world because of its historic interest. During our varied walks through the heart of the region, we will pass many monuments from the times of the Nuraghi people, one of the main Mediterranean prehistoric civilisations. Some walks are possible from the hotel door, and on other days we use private or public transport to take us to the trailhead, to explore the ridges, valleys, gorges and peaks of this fascinating island.
