Day 1: Arrival day
Transfer to Cabras to meet up with the Cycle Rep for a briefing on the route, handover of bicycles and information pack.
Day 2: The Sinis Peninsula and Oristano (68km / 42 miles or 36km / 23 miles)
Start your trip with an optional loop of the fascinating Sinis wetlands where you will see colonies of pink flamingos, quartz beaches and reach one of the most beautiful spots on the island: the Phoenician ruins of Tharros. Then cross the town of the medieval historic centre of Oristano to reach Arborea.
Day 3: Costa Verde and Dunes of Piscinas (46km / 29 miles or 54km / 34 miles)
You will cycle through the natural beauty spots of the Costa Verde, some of the most savage scenery on the island, to the Piscinas beach with its sands dunes over 50m high – some of the highest in Europe.
Day 4: The Mines of Sulcis (41km / 26 miles)
This leg takes you back into the ancient mining past of Sardinia, as you pass the fascinating abandoned mines of Acquaresi and Planusartu. After the golden beach of Portixeddu and looming mass of Pan di Zucchero cliff, you admire the old ore washery at Nebida: nestling in the varied colours of the Mediterranean bush, it looks out over the sea at the end of a long descent down 540 steps.
Day 5: The Island of Carloforte (43km / 27 miles)
After a beautiful descent to Fontanamare, you will reach Portoscuso and board the ferry (extra cost, paid locally) to Carloforte, where locals still fish the Red Tuna fish. From Carloforte, continue to the island of Sant'Antioco and end your day in Calasetta.
Day 6: Town and Island of Sant’Antioco (40km / 25 miles)
Riding along through vineyards and olive groves, savour the quiet peace of the rolling plains of Sulcis. At Tratalias, visit the Pisan sanctuary, one of the most important monuments of the Sardinian Romanesque period.
Day 7: The South Coast (57km / 35 miles)
Final catwalk of your tour is the beautiful Costa del Sud with its gleaming white beaches, unspoilt natural landscape and imposing cliffs: Cape Malfatano with its 16th Century tower and Cape Spartivento. At Nora you will visit the ancient Phoenician settlement.
Day 8: Departure day
After breakfast, transfer to airport.
