Discover the many charms of Sardinia, including its lovely landscapes, culture and traditions.
A short panoramic drive through the city brings you to the Basilica of Bonaria. Take in the vista over Cagliari. Your guide will introduce you to some local culture and the fascinating history of this impressive church.
Continuing to Monte Urpino, a brief photo stop offers commanding views of the Gulf of Angels, the salt ponds, and the Molentargius Lagoon — a safe haven for a host of splendid pink flamingos.
Pass famous Poetto Beach en route to the farming community of Maracalagonis, where you'll visit Casa Atzeri. Mix with locals in traditional costume, and entertained by a typical folkloric show as you enjoy a taste of genuine Sardinian hospitality. Enjoy a local snack. Afterward, you are free to join in the dancing, and don't leave without trying the local wine and Mirto - a sweet dessert wine.
Returning to Cagliari's city center, enjoy approximately 45 minutes of free time to explore this bustling city on your own before returning to the ship.
