Nice beach, but was not one of the top beaches we visited.
Loved the fine sand and the rockery.
There are many bars and restaurants in which you can grab something to eat or drink.

Wasn’t that impressed as far as Sardinian beaches go. Yes, it’s lovely, but like, there are so many so the bar is so high!
Rachel Holland — Google review
So beautiful! Nature beach with hidden beach bars, trees where you can find shade and even in July not too crowded at all 😍
Elena Kirsch — Google review
Beautiful beach! Truly white sand and turquoise blue water. Easy access with a parking near by. Very convenient if you are carrying a lot of things. Beach bar is nice and friendly! Its just no dogs are allowed. But since it wasn’t crowded We brought our dog for a short while.

Fantastic beach, with cristalline and shallow waters safe for kids. Severals bars and restaurants along the beach for coffe or lunches.Personally I prefer the right side of the beach because there are lot of rocks and is perfect for enjoying a bit of snorkeling .
Valentina Carracoi — Google review
Amazing beach with colorful rocks on either side.
Stunning blue and clear water. White fine sand, shallow water.
Probably the prettiest beach we have been to in Sardinia.
Bruno Catellani — Google review
If you like sandy beaches (tiny sand) than this is for you. The parking is nearby for only 2€/day. The bar offers drinks but the food is just plain sandwiches and snacks. There is plenty of space since this is not a really crowded beach.
Good for kids

Lovely beach with fine sand.
Parking is right next to the beach and costs 3€.
David Rambousek — Google review
Great beach, easy to get there and beautiful white sand. I liked the big rocks in the water and distant high cliffs for ‘decoration’. The water is not very deep for a long time so you can get quite far out.
Rocce Rosse in Arbatax is a stunning red rock stack made of porphyry that emerges from the sea near the harbor. It's a popular backdrop for summer rock concerts and hosts the Rocce Rosse Blues music festival in August. The area offers ample parking and easy access, making it a must-see attraction when visiting Arbatax. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views, with some even daring to jump into the sea from the rocks.
Awesome place
But def. better with sun on sunset

Great place to snorkel. A bit tricky to get in and out of the water so must be a good swimmer. Local teens jump from the rocks into the sea. Look but don’t try this please. Blessings.
sven — Google review
In general a beautiful place but there is waaaaay to much trash around. It is sad to see how much people just throw away from glass to paper, cigarettes 🚬 ect.
The rocks are very impressive and the children had fun climbing on them and around them. It is a nice an short visit with a nice view. Can recommend.
Susi J — Google review
Remarkable rock formation that you have to see when you are in the region… . The place has an easy access and a lot of parking space! It’s nice to sit on the rocks next to it and to admire the view… We visited this place in June 2022, during a road trip in Sardina…

Spectacular place, which is a "must" to see when passing Arbatax. Rocks are beautiful and breathtaking. If you go, go early, at 9-10am - only few people. Free, no admission, large parking place suitable also for caravans right in front of it. Souvenirs shop near. Some similar red rocks can be found in surrounding too e.g. Lido di Orri.
Local boys jump from the to the sea - that's really extreme adventure :-)

It's a must see location! You can swim, snorkel and dive, just be careful with the rocks and corals in the ocean. It has a very uneven coast.
Morphchain — Google review
The rocks are beautiful, but the environment is messy due to litter, missing pavement, and crumbling concrete. Additionally, the surroundings lack picturesque charm. After a few minutes, I had seen enough.

Great geological experience to see two types of granite red and grey on the coast. Great for pictures. Swimming only possible when sea is more calm.

Long white-sand beach for swimming & surfing, with restaurants & bars along the shore.
Belle plage sable clair eau limpide. Des rochers ça et la pour donner du cachet...snack, parking payant, pas mal de monde mais étant une grande plage on est pas les uns sur les autres

Beautiful clear sandy beach with crystal clear water. Rocks here and there to give character...snack, paid parking, quite a lot of people but being a large beach we are not on top of each other
Barbara Tharin — Google review
Beautiful little beach. Loved it! We stayed in one of the private venues, they were so nice. Umbrella and two chase plus services for €15. The ladies were so accommodating. The sand beach is beautiful too! So everything was great.
Cala Goloritzé is a white-sand beach and pinnacle in the Gulf of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. The stunningly beautiful beach can be accessed by hiking from the Altopiano del Golgo, or by boat from the nearby town of Solsona. It is one of the most popular beaches in Catalonia, and attracts climbers and hikers who enjoy some adventurous activities like climbing to see views from 148 meters atop The Aguglia rock needle.
Let’s talk turkey: You need to earn this fantastic view. The hike takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. But seriously it is definitely worth it. You will be rewarded with a fantastic beach with turquoise and clear water - a bit saltier though. The sand is white and beautiful. When we were there, we could see some jellyfish. So you better watch out. The trail winds through sun-drenched fields, rocky caves and shady groves where you can say hello to goats and wild boars. Take plenty of water with you, wear trekking shoes or at least sneakers and apply enough sunscreen.

First of all, EXTREMELY CROWDED BEACH. I visited at the end of september and there were still a lot of people. Better to visit in low season.
You have to do a hike of 4km to get to the beach. Pretty easy to go down and up.
6 euros entrance fee. You have to book online (only 200 people per day).
We saw a lot of donkeys, cows and goats which I loved!
Water was not crystal clear, so, not so good for snorkeling.
In general, very good beach and hike (despite having so many people), colors are true and the location is very virgin.

Beautiful beach, but small, way to crowded.
Ticket online 6 euros per person. One hour to get there, around hour and a half on the way back. The road to drive a car to the starting point....not very enjoyable 😁

Amazing beach! Clean and you can see the bottom very clearly. Better to reach this beach by the boat. We took the boat in Arbatax Port and reached Cala Goloritze in about an hour.
Maryna Yermolina — Google review
Absolutely lives up the hype. End of June and it was easy to reserve tickets day prior, so there should have been plenty of walk-up reservations as well the day of. Hike down took me about 45 minutes solo at a decent pace. Ascent back took just over an hour. You should be about 10-15 minutes back to the parking lot once you start to level out and descend again. The way down had reasonable amount of the trail was shade at 0830 due to tree and cliff blocking sun. On way back up at 1530 the sun was still high enough to take away a lot of the shade on the trail. Hiking/rucking boots or at least stable trainers required since most of the trail is rock scramble or loose sharp rocks. I wore light running shoes since they dry quickly and the treads and foam soles got chewed up. Beach begins to properly fill up by around 1030. Many of the shaded spots under the cliff overhangs are taken first. Since it seems visitors were well below the 250 limit it didn't feel too crowded, but at capacity plus any of the boat visitors swimming to shore it could be quite crowded. I took 2.5Ls and between hiking quickly and swimming a lot there, it was not enough. 2L minimum, 3L if you can carry. The restaurant at the parking lot is decently priced.
Simon E — Google review
It’s the most amazing beach I have ever been. The path is quite hard and you spend around 1 hour to get there. But it deserves. The ticket is 6 euros and I would recommend to book the entrance, wear sneakers and a big bottle of water. You will not regret! Enjoy it 😊
Oscar Palomares — Google review
As many reviews say be ready for the walk/hike. It's 3.6kms each way with approximately 500m of climbing, it's more difficult on the way back.
Cost is €6 and parking is free. Shoes are a must, the path is easy to follow but the terrain is harsh. Take plenty of water especially if you plan on staying at the beach for a while, there is literally no where to buy anything once at the beach.
The beach itself is very busy, I went around 3pm (mostly for the hike) and the beach was full. Also word of warning the beach isn't always as calm as some photos might show, with a slight wind out at sea the waves can be very rough and wouldn't recommend for not confident swimmers.
Highly recommended it overall, it's a real gem of Sardinia and one that many will not be able to say they have been to!

Amazing beach, impressive turquoise water, fantastic surronding
The best thing is that boats can not reach the beach. It is a paradise with a tribute to pay - 1 hour + hiking to go there and 1.5 hours to go back .. but it is absolutely worth the effort
Marco Francesco — Google review
This was the most wonderful beach and full of marine life. Be prepared for around 1hr to 1.5hrs hike from the parking area to the place. Take with you water in the hot summer days and a small backpack. The beach itself is very small and limited people are allowed to come, however it can still be crowded, but is worth it.
Mihaela Valentina — Google review
Beautiful, but the way back up is a challenge. Make sure to have good shoes, and preferably some walking sticks. Water and sugar is a need for the hike back up. It is more difficult than the hike to goropu, but a bit shorter with less general elevation but however a bit more technical (as in more rocky and natural walk).
Worth the effort, the beach is wonderful!
Jolanda Saxfors — Google review
One of my favorite Beaches, wonderful place and walk for 1h and height difference ca.500m but its costs €6, you ... for what?
Müller Michael — Google review
We hiked to the beach during low sunny season in April. What I understand this makes totally different experience!
The way to parking area is the most difficult if traveling by car: Long curvy mountain road.
Once arrived to parking friendly hosts at till advise you to take a lot of water and snacks; in April we did not need a lot to drink; though in summer this could be a necessity. Also we did not book in advance, which would be quite opportunistic in high season.
Water and food could be purchased at restaurant which is located directly at parking area.
The hiking route is not difficult though at least trainers is a must. My daughter which is 8 year old coped with 1.5 hours trip quite easily. The trail is very picturesque.
But the most beautiful is certainly beach and its light blue water. In April it was not crowded and there were only 3 boats.
There was no dining place at the beach and it closes at 4 pm.
On the way back (it felt much easier, though most of the way it was elevation) we ended up at restaurant (where we parked). It has good choice of Italian salads and beverages. Despite price it has good shadowed outside area with tables and benches; good closing point of the trip!

Very nice beach , but sadly mass tourism - if you got a chance , come as early as you can and leave latest 12.00 .

The most amazing rock formation gives this Cala a special vibe. Though you can’t be reach the beach by big boats you can park in front of it and have a swim right in the middle of the ocean which is what we did while getting to enjoy the fish and the pure cristal water. All shades of blue.
Florencia Soruco — Google review
We absolutely loved the hike! Especially the way there. We are not hikers yet we were able to do the way there in 50min and the way back in 1h10!
Getting there is quite easy but the way back was really hard.
You must book in advance as the places are limited, nevertheless the beach is extremely busy and it's almost impossible to find a nice spot in the sun on the beach.
The beach is quite small but the sea is absolutely fantastic.
We were scared that it might be too sunny but actually most of the beach was in the shade by 12pm.
Highly reccomend bringing water and food (as there is no bar on or near the beach) and insect repellent as it is FULL of wasps.
The water is absolutely fantastic and crystal clear but there are some biting fishes next to the shore

Beautiful place in Sardegna!
It's one of the beautiful beach in Sardegna.
Useful Informations:
You will reach the place from Su Porteddu. It's a hiking path from Su Porteddu to Cala Goloritze. You must take hiking/sport shoes and sport clothes. Because it has a lot of different type of stones and the path could be neat. Please take with you a beach umbrella. The beach isn't fully with sand. Most of them are with stone - up and downs. You must do a reservation on the app Heart of Sardinia to get access to the beach, otherwise you can't. Please go there in the morning , because you can accesss the beach till 15:00.. when you arrive at 16:00 they won't let you go to the beach, because they close at 17:00! The hiking back to the parking is very hard in the sun. Is really hard.. I'm hiker and it is to hot to hike up. Please take each person 2 liter water with you!
Negative Points:
You have to pay 6.00€ to walk to the beach Cala Goloritze. The path isn't clean or prepared to walk.. for 6.00 for each person they could prepare the path. You won't have a reservated place at the beach you have to find a place and it hasn't a lot!
At the Beach they don't have water or a small Kiosk to buy water or something.
To the restaurant Su Porteddu there is always a donkey. I don't know why a donkey is there.. it is whole day there.. in this hot wheater.. i'm feeling bad.

There is about half a kilometre of walking to do inside the cave, the whole tour lasts about 45 minutes and you can go by yourself to explore in your own time.

I’ve travelled a lot and had never seen something quite this amazing and well preserved. The entrance is beautiful but the treasures inside are amazing. My favorite thing about it is the subterranean river. Though you can’t access everything the place has to offer it’s definitely something worth seeing. Also the temperature offers a break from the hot Sardinian summer. So overall great experience.

Arived by boat and got parked by the flaot. Few lads came in a boat and gaved lift to entrance and back as well we got some local cheese sandwich.
Cave it self is fantastic and must be visited. They are super organised there. No problem if you visiting by hired boat.
Marius Straksys — Google review
A nice cave conserved well but not perfectly, human damage is quite easy to spot. The tourist open areas are limited but make for a good enough walk inside, always in the company of a guide. There are audio guides for the non Italian speaking, and quite good, but the guide is obviously better. I did not particularly like the stuffed seals inside as part of the display.
David Ponessa — Google review
We were in cruise with mostly Spanish speaking people so for visiting the cave we split for English talking group and Spanish but after this the guide realized that in English group is like few person so we have to just split in half .. our trip took longer cause guide has to talk in 2 languages. Of course is not to see but it's not soo impressive;)

Interesting cave. We were told it’s take us an hour, but think it took us about 25 mins. It’s worth a visit if you’re passing by on a boat. Cost us €10 per person

Very nice pit stop during coastline boat trip.
The grotto even had two kittens that are well cared for and live there for the season!
The guide was super friendly and spoke both Italian and English. Interesting history of the cave and learned also something new + got to cuddle with the friendly kittens!
Lovely day- Would definitely recommend!
The Grotta di Su Marmuri is an awe-inspiring cave complex located above Ulassai. Guided tours are required for visits and take approximately one hour to complete a 1km walk through the subterranean wonderland adorned with vividly colored rock formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, some of which resemble huge drip candles, while others appear as delicate as coral.
Very nice place! A bit sporty but manageable 😊 our 5 years girl could do it without Problem!
Just check the opening hours - in the low season only twice a day
After or before the visit you can do a small walk/trekking, so perfect to combine as daily trip

Biggest cave in Sardinia. A real natural wonder. Around 1km one side. The guide was informative and gave tour in both English and Italian. Definitely worth the visit. The ticket can be bought from the coffee counter. There is enough parking space too.

Very impressive grotta! Lovely guided tour in Italian and English. Families with small children, beware: there are lots of steps to take and it's slippery inside, so bring appropriate shoes.

Incredible Cave, much better than expected. It's different to the others on the island and the sheer size of it is just incredible
Marcin Siebab — Google review
Impressive cave, house of a colony of bats 30.000 strong during summer time. Remarkable geological features and colosal chambers.
Guided visit every couple of hours. Tickets can be bought directly at the restaurant next to the entrance (12 euros). Total time 1-1.5h.
The guide was very friendly and did the tour simultaneously in english and Italian.
NOTE: approximately 300-400 steps for the full visit. Temperature inside if approx 12 degrees Celsius all year around.

It was one of the highlights of our trip to Sardinia, without a doubt!! We loved absolutely everything about it, and Cynthia (sorry as probably is not properly spelt!) was a brilliant and knowledgeable guide, who made the experience even better. I highly recommend it to everyone!!!

Nice place, tickets for 12 €, needs good garment as place is really slippery
Mirja Weber — Google review
Great place to visit though might be wise to take a jumper, unless you're from the North of England in which case you'll be fine. It consists on a hour or so walk into the grotto with a guide who's very informative. There's lots to take pictures of and the time seems to fly by. The initial walk up is a bit steep and there initial walk in is steep too and you have to do the same in reverse to get out, other than that waking around the grotto isn't challenging at all, which was good.
Definitely a place to go.

An unbelievable place. The guided tour takes a little over 1.5 hours and takes us through incredible chambers, with geological formations that make us smile throughout the experience. The ticket costs 12 euros (during the month of September) and there are visits every 2 hours (the first at 10am). One of the best nature experiences I've had. I would do it again.
Ricardo Serôdio — Google review
Wonderful experience. The cave's temperature is always around 10 °C (50 °F) and you have to go up and down a few steps before you reach the entrance so a sweatshirt and trainers are essential. The guide explains both in Italian and in English.

Great tour through the caves. Unique location, beautifully lit and interesting acoustics. Got to see and hear some bats too!

Nice ice cream, overall great value for money🍨
- Chilly worth bringing a jacket/ jumper
- Quite a few steps (nothing too challenging)
- Worth having good shoes on, wet inside!

Beautiful caves. A warm jacket is highly recommended as it's around 8-10 degrees down there. The guide speaks both Italian and English. Definitely worth a visit. A drive to the caves takes you through a beautiful mountain range.

Piazzale Grotte sui Marmuri, 08040 Ulassai NU, Italy
Grotta di Ispinigoli is a fascinating cave and grotto with enormous stalactites and stalagmites. Guided tours are available in both Italian and English, but visitors should be aware that the lights are turned off every hour for 20 minutes to protect the delicate ornaments. The cave boasts Europe's tallest column at 37 meters, which is comprised mostly of stalagmites.
Worth seeing, the guide was competent, it was nice to have a free time to watch the place on your own after staff's introduction.
Anna Ku?mierz — Google review
Very beautiful cave, with a great guide. You can see they care about the cave. Small groups, and you get to walk around freely. You don't get a claustrophobic feel (which is nice in a cave).

Impressive display of the art and forces of nature with a well guided and informative tour. I tend to say better than the caves at the waterfront - it definitely saves you an exorbitant expensive boat ride and offers a nice hide-out from the heat. Perfectly understand why goats were the first to discover the cave. Beautiful!

Call beforehand to make sure the times for daily tours as they can fill up. No photos allowed inside the grotta but it is spectacular! It’s a narrow descent into the cavern where you will see some beautiful rock formations.

Beautiful underground cavern system with the world's second largest stalagmite/stalactite. Stunning little tour through the caves with very well informed and friendly guides, who speak English very well too. Thoroughly enjoyed our hour down there, and chatting afterwards with one of the guides about local sightseeing in the area. Just be weary if you have a fear of heights, as you will not like the descent down the metal staircases!

The formation and the guide who led us deserve 5 stars. I deduct 2 because of the ban on taking photos inside (even without flash). The explanation offered for this simply read, on a poster at the entrance: “Because”. Ive done some research before posting and couldn’t find a valid reason related to preservation… anyway, if you like geology and fancy something different during your Sardinia visit, this really is a nice excursion with very well trained and knowledgeable tour guides.

Mark Toller — Google review
Great cave to discover. The visits are at hour mainly because they close the lights every hour for 20 minutes to protect its ornaments, the stalagmites and stalagmites. The visit is both in Italian and English.
It has the tallest column (when the stalagmites join the stalagmites) of Europe, 37 meters (36 of it is formed of stalagmites).
The cave and all it’s galleries are still to be explored. To date 17km have been explorer.
The ticket of 8 € (adult) gives you a free visit of the archeological museum in Dorgali (15 minutes away).
The is a hotel-restaurant near buy. I would advise to take a coffee or having lunch. The view is spectacular and the food is incredible.

We had an excellent time there! The groups are small, the visit is guided, and you can get the maximum experience and enjoyment, without being crowded, and taking one's time to learn and observe.

Restored remains of a pre-Roman settlement, with guided tours of stone towers, courtyards & huts.
The most insane and beautiful nuraghe I've ever seen! This is an absolute MUST to visit while in Sardinia. A very complex structure with intact floors and a 360° view of a beautiful landscape in the heart of Sardinia. The bookstore, ticket room and bar are very organized and cute. Thank you!

€5 to go in and the same price can get you either the guided tour in Italian (at 12pm) or a self-guided tour with literature translated into other languages.
The workers at the center were very nice. The nuraghe is impressive. However, the literature is very technically-focused, explaining more about how the structure was made instead of what it was used for. I’d still recommend a visit.
Kate Santoro — Google review
Next stop after nuraghe Piscu was another nuraghe, this one at Arrubiu, which was a proper tourist site with a cafe - so we could finally have breakfast - and paid for admission.
This was another huge site with walls maybe 10m high and 3m thick and multiple buildings and towers radiating from the centre. There were more wild flowers including poppies as well as lots of basking lizards. In this tower you could see the spiral stairs although they have been blocked off part way up for 'safety reasons'.
The staff here were very helpful and gave us an English leaflet describing the site, the purpose of each room and what had been found in excavations. It was impressive how cold some of the interior rooms were considering it was around 30 degrees C outside. The main tower was originally over 25m high which is pretty impressive for something built 1500 years before the Roman Empire was founded.

If you're looking for a break from sea, this attraction is the right choice!
We visited those ancient ruins and we remained astonished.
The local guide is very nice. She is able to make us fall down in the past and understand the origin of that place.
So, we warmly suggest to visit it.
Francesco Miselli — Google review
This site is special. We went back twice. I recommend giving yourself some time as it is quite big and there is more to see and take in then other Nurahge sites. The park closes at sunset and I find the light at sunset the best time to be there, so if you can I suggest enjoying just before you must leave. The staff is kind and the cafe and gifts are housed in a nice building mirroring the Nurahge, in good taste. Plenty of parking. In summer, an hour before sunset was not at all crowded. Bring water!

Murale di Orgosolo is a must-see for history and art enthusiasts. The town of Orgosolo, located in the inner side of Sardinia, is famous for its impressive wall paintings and road structure. Despite not being super famous, it offers a charming experience of Italian village lifestyle. Visitors can appreciate the hospitality of the village people and enjoy the beauty of this hidden gem in Sardinia.
Charming, small city, worth to see in my opinion.

The Museo delle Maschere Mediterranee, located in Mamoiada near Nuoro, is a unique museum showcasing traditional Carnival masks from Sardinia and the Mediterranean Basin.

Not worth visiting. It’s a 20 min movie & 2 small rooms with small number of masks.
Masks are poorly described, though some really nicely carved. Would be great if this is more interactive & simply better arranged. Written guide - was acutely a plus, but not enough
One thing - which is worth noticing - marketing of the place is really good, and town is helping out with displaying masks around.

Parco Aymerich is a beautiful natural park with old trees, waterfalls, and a castle ruin offering nice views. Visitors can enjoy picnics at the tables provided and find sources of free drinking water to cool down in the hot summer days. The park features water streams and lush woodlands, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. However, some visitors have noted challenges such as poor signage and limited facilities like parking and garbage bins.
beautiful natural park with old trees, waterfalls, castle ruin and nice views. there is big spot with tables, where you can enjoy your picnic, some sources of free drinking water

A strange and Impressive place where the wild horses of Sardinia can be seen. Would warmly recommend. You have to leave the car at the end of the climb and then with a little bit of luck you will be able to see them.
Be quiet and enjoy at the views of the wild horses because if you are too noisy they will get away :)

Nice free park. From the entrance it's possible to walk an easy 2.5 km path (one way) through cork trees and the Mediterranean vegetation to the two ponds hosting the wild little horses and some cows. If in Summer, better to go in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat, as some parts are without shade.

Visited the park in early November. It was beautiful green and it felt like to be an 'island of serenity'. Saw 7 wild horses - Giara horses too :-) Map&flyer cost 2 €, though there were hardly any signes on the routes. We identified where we were on the map on basis of what landmark/ruin we passed by :-D We did not get lost but still the lack of signs is a thing to improve.

(Translated by Google) Ten km or more of a curvy route and then finding yourself in another dimension. Tempio Pausania just below us seems far away on this day in Gallura in mid-September, with very little sun, a little dull and low clouds that envelop and muffle. It is as if suspended in a place that transmits powerful charm and amazement in the face of such perfect and majestic beauty: the granite rocks, the surrounding vegetation, the silence. We almost forget the enormous repeater antennas that occupy one side of the mountain... inert and sterile steel
as opposed to living stone.

Dieci km e più di percorso tutto curve per poi trovarsi come in un'altra dimensione. Tempio Pausania poco sotto di noi sembra lontano, in questa giornata in Gallura di metà settembre, con pochissimo sole un po' livido e nuvole basse che avvolgono e attutiscono . Si è come sospesi in un luogo che trasmette potente fascino e stupore di fronte a tanta bellezza perfetta e maestosa : le rocce granitiche, la vegetazione intorno, il silenzio. Quasi si dimenticano le enormi antenne dei ripetitori che occupano un versante del monte... acciaio inerte e sterile
contrapposto a pietra viva .

Nuraghe Losa is an ancient archaeological site located on a plateau, featuring a well-preserved triangular stone tower and various ruins. The massive structure, built with impressive engineering using rocks, reflects the changing cultures of its past residents. Guided tours are available to enhance the experience and provide insight into the site's historical significance.
Another landmark from the Nuragic civilization. Definitely worth seeing if it’s on your way. The viewing is short and once you climb on top of the tower you get great views.

Nuraghe Santu Antine is an ancient Sardinian stone structure that once had three floors and a 24-meter tower. It is a significant part of the island's identity, representing the ancient history of Sardinia. Located in the Sardinian countryside, this massive and silent structure offers visitors a unique glimpse into the island's past. Exploring its interior reveals unexpected hallways, staircases, and different views, making it an intriguing destination for history and architecture enthusiasts.
Must see! Well preserved and presented (lighting and signs around the sight).
There is a free Audioguide-App (Santu Antine) which is perfect: just the right amount of information and length of the audios.

this one is a small but almost fully intact Nuraghe you can find on the island. the ticket price of 10€ can feel expensive but worth a visit if you are in the area. No guided tours were offered on site according to the receptionist at the ticket counter but I saw a group with a guide speaking in Italian. Probably organised tour group. Self explanatory place and shouldn't take more than 30min.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when we bought our tickets, but I got more! This place is so cool! My husband and I could have easily spent hours exploring. From the outside, it doesn't seem like much, but once you go in, there is so much to see. Just when you think you have turned a corner and reached the end, there is another hallway or staircase, so just keep exploring. If you're in to history and architecture, this place is for you. Not to mention the many different views it has to offer! The steps are treacherous, so wear comfortable shoes or even sneakers/boots.

A beautifully preserved Nuraghe in the Logudoro region of Sardinia ( Northwest). The site is well organised for individual or group tours, with a ticket office/souvenir shop, a bar with snacks and hot and cold drinks, and public restrooms.
The full price ticket is 8€, which is fair since it goes to the maintenance expenses.
You can take a walk all around and inside the Nuraghe, up to the top terrace, which offers an astounding view of the valley. There is no wheelchair nor assisted access to the upper levels, that you can reach by a very steep and tall set of stone steps, so keep this in mind when you visit.
There are informative panels all around, to explain the history and architecture of the site.

Very Interesting historical, worth a visit which costs 10 Euros entry

This nuraghe can be visited on the same day trip as nuraghe losa and Santa Cristina Holy Well. It is almost a 2 hour drive from Olbia but absolutely worth it.
Museo Civico Giovanni Marongiu in Cabras is a cultural gem showcasing the famous Giants of Monte Prama, towering nuraghic stone sculptures. The museum offers well-curated displays of local artifacts dating back to 3500 BCE, providing thorough explanations and insights into the region's history. Visitors can also opt for a combo ticket with access to the Tharros tower site, located about 10 km away.
A little gem of brilliance. A total must for a wonderfully curated museum. The people who work there are passionate and super well informed. Beautifully set out with plenty of explanations. Great find.

Small but nice to visit. Unfortunately a lot of the information was in Italian only which made that we didn't really understand the background of the excavation etc.

i like the fact that this is one of the few places in all Sardinien where you can see a little bit of good conserved history, and the history itself is super interesting! sadly a lot from the museum outside you couldn't visit, and also it's not explained a lot about the history and what is explained is old and not up to date. also if you're visiting the museum in english you don't really learn anything about it. it's really sad that there is not the possibility to get to know more of this really interesting past of Sardinien, sadly it's in all Sardinien like that.

Small museum, not too far from where the giants were discovered.
Unfortunately most of the info is in Italian, and even if there are few QR codes to some info in English, it’s not exhaustive.
You could try using Google Translate camera to do the translation - I tried with limited success. It became very tedious mostly due to the necessity to read it all on the phone screen...

Small Museum with a number of notable exhibits namely the Giants but also lead ingots from a sunken ship. Worth visiting if you're in the area...

Most-see if you are in Cabras or nearby. Buy combo ticket with Tharros and Spanish tower, it is 30 eur for families.

A nice little museum, and there is the option to pay a little more to get access to the Tharros tower site, but its 10 km away.
You can take the bus there from Oristano, they run about once per hour.

Local artifacts from the nuragic era dating from 3500 bce (!!!) onwards. Well displayed and thoroughly explained. It's a small museum but unique in its kind. Great insights about the local territory.

A decent amount of artifacts are on display, including the giants. However, there isn't much information available in English. I would personally skip this museum for non Italian speakers.
La Marinedda is a stunning beach located near Isola Rossa in northern Sardinia. It is surrounded by red granite rocks and Mediterranean shrub, offering a long stretch of beautiful coastline where visitors can freely set up their umbrellas. The beach is popular among sea sports enthusiasts and hosts an annual global surf competition. With pristine water, shallow depths, and vibrant colors, it's ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Playa la Marineda it's a nice beach close to Isola Rosa. If you don't rent a car it's not easy to get to Isola Rosa from Alguero. We had to change 3 busses to get there and it took a whole day. Having this in mind, Isola Rosa and it's beaches are nice. You just need patience to get there 😂
There are some beautiful beaches around such as La Marineda. The wind blows pretty hard there so it's a good spot for surf.
It's a nice and relaxing beach, big enough.
Surrounded by rocks and green hills, this beach it's a great place for you to take pictures.
Sunsets here are amazing.
I recommend it if you visit Isola Rosa and it's beaches! Good food at affordable prices. You must try the pizza, ohh the pizza was delicious!! And the ice cream! Try the figue ice cream! Enjoy!! 😋

The beach itself is very beautiful, the water is calm and clear. The only thing that bothers me is that the bar « Mistral » takes extremely long time to serve your food, it came after 2 hours and my child was very hungry, when I went and asked the waitress she was rather rude.

S'Archittu, a charming tourist destination situated near Oristano and under the jurisdiction of Cuglieri municipality, is a small coastal resort that attracts visitors with its picturesque views. On day five of exploring the area, tourists can visit Putzu Idu, which is a quaint village located on the peninsula's northernmost tip. Its beach features quartz sand and offers a more secluded and tranquil experience compared to the southern beaches.

Romanesque church built out of basalt & limestone in 1116 on the site of a former monastery.
Nice spot by the road. Be careful, the parking lot is just a hole. We couldn't get inside; it was closed. We practically didn't encounter any tourists here. No tickets were needed.

Weird, this church next to the road, with hardly anything else around. No village or town, no preserved abbey buildings. It is quite beautiful on the outside and special on the inside. As if time has not affected it, it has preserved the early romanesque architectural style. It's an easy and nice enough stop if you're in the neighbourhood. Entrance fee 3€.

A perfect spot to be visited for its architectural importance style of medieval Europe characterized by semi circular arches
Tony Chahine — Google review
We visited this place on the route from San Teodoro to Alghero and I must admit that it was worth it. It is one of the most important Romanesque monuments on the island. The structure is entirely made of local stone, with a typical Tuscan Romanesque appearance. Visiting for a small fee inside is possible from April to the end of October. Inside of the church is a small souvenir shop, and a cafe near the parking where we can drink coffee and eat a croissant.
Michael Nowak — Google review
The church in itself is wonderful. There is an entrance fee quite high, the tower is not accessible. A very poor description of history inside, you better study it in advance.

If you plan on entering please be aware that they charge a €3 entrance fee and you must be dressed modestly. I was wearing shorts and a tank top so I explored the outside grounds while my friend looked around inside. No photos were allowed inside but he said that I didn't miss much by not going inside.
Popular, white-sand beach featuring a wooden boardwalk, plus a parking lot & restaurants.
Pretty nice beach. Clear water. Parking for free (October) showers at the beach are not working. Almost no shadow.

Absolutely worth a visit. Really unique feeling on a beach with “Rice” stones.
Also fantastic underwater experience with lots of fish to see, is like diving in a aquarium.
And yes it is crowded there, even during the week, but what to complain about, it’s summer vacation in all over Europe, so stop crying.
Jan “JanZi” Zimmermann — Google review
I think that is the best beach of the area. Got there at 7:30am and was nobody there so we had all the beach for ourselves. The water was perfect and very clean and the sand is just fabulous. Also you can see some fishes. When we left at around 11:30am was already busy. Highly recommend.
Larisa Manciu — Google review
Don't buy the hype. If you are close you can check it just to see nice small pebble sand. If you are thinking about driving from another part of an island, then let it go. There is a lot of plant matter on the beach - nobody is cleaning that. There are other nicer beaches on Sardinia. Oh, and parking is €2/h. What a ripoff.

The best beach that we have visited in Sardinia.
I give five stars for;
⭐ The Amazing view
⭐ Calm place
⭐ Romantic and charming spot
⭐ Wonderful sea, clear and clean
⭐ Reachable by car or by feet (if you book a nearby hotel)
In love with this place 😍

It's probably one of the top beaches in Sardinia. There is plenty of space, tons of parking, and beach access. The beaches keep going north and south. It has some of the best snorkeling in terms of fish and things to see.
Just know they are super serious about leaving that beach sand at the beach.

One of the best beaches on the west coast of the island. Not very windy, good for snorkeling.

One of the best beaches I’ve ever visited. It is the beach of mini rounded stones, so called quarzo beach and this is amazing - tender but it doesn’t stick on your skin like sand. The see is great for swimming. Not too crowded in beginning of July. The parking nearby is quite expensive- 4 eur for 2 hours, however there are also other parking options.
Nataša Jeraj Kampuš — Google review
Wonderful beach with non typical “sand” looking as grains of rice which is being composed of small grains of quartz, which shades range from pink, to green, to pure white.
Pros: stretches for several kilometers, clear sea, easy reach from Oristano by bus, there are bars, free toilets and showers.
Cons: somewhere it’s to rocky seabed

Beautiful beach. The sunset, the view, the rocks, the quartz sand. The position is remarkable, this beach is so picturesque you have a feeling it is out of this world. This is one of those things you do not to miss. :)
Roccia dell'Elefante, also known as Elephant Rock, is a remarkable natural formation located along state road 134 in the Castelsardo area of Sardinia. This large rust-colored boulder, about four meters high, bears a striking resemblance to a seated elephant. Not only is it an intriguing sight to behold, but it also holds archaeological significance as it contains two ancient Fairy Houses used for burial rituals thousands of years ago.
Definitely recommend it to visit when you're in Sardinia! Couple on minutes drive from Castelsardo. It's free as being on the side of the road. Parking is easy and free we got there around 11am in June '19, some tourist but not crowded. Could comfortably take photos. The view also beautiful as always on this island 🌞😁

It look’s exactly like in the pictures. There were only 3-4 people at the time I went which was at 15:00 so i guess it’s not a very visited site.
It was interesting but kinda looked human made it has like tunnels which looked to perfect to be natural.
You won’t be spending more than 5 minutes there since it’s not really big. If you don’t want to lose 5 minutes you can pass by it by car and you will see everything since it’s right next to the road.

Quite impressing sometimes when Mother Nature makes art.
It really is fasisating to see the work of erosion, and when it looks like and elegant, it is even better.

Strada Statale 134 Km 19,300, 07031 Castelsardo SS, Italy
Walled castle dating from the 12th century, at the top of Serravalle Hill & accessed by stairs.
This is one of the must see places in Sardinia because you will regret it. The views from the castle are stunning and unforgettable. Necessarily!
sergiusz pawlowski — Google review
Nice view spot for sure. The city below spreads out towards the ocean. You can see the river winding through the valley. But the castle itself is fairly run down and the artifacts are not very numerous. You can climb to the top of the tower and get a great view as well.
There are some walls and buttresses that remain. But now as many as some other castles I visited.
There are probably 250 steps going up so it's a little bit of a hike. Also, there's no restroom once you get there. They have a sign that says the restroom is temporarily unavailable but the sign looks like it's about 3 years old.

Really great castle! However it was incredibly hot when we visited, which made it hard to enjoy. But the outer walls, the inner walls, the chapel, the tower, the views of the town… it all makes the whole setting pretty nice. No wait for tickets and not full. Fully recommended for everybody making a stop in Bosa!

We had an ok time, but the area has a serious bee infestation and the walkways are full of glass (see pictures). I saw a young girl get seriously stung and the staff (older aged lady) were not at all interested.

We stopped at a viewpoint after maybe 90 minutes, overlooking the town of Bosa, overlooked by the Castle of Serravalle. It looked a very photogenic place with painted houses, a medieval bridge and castle on the hill. After plugging the phone back in the sat nav switched from driving to walking so after crossing said medieval bridge we were directed along a rutted path and then to a metalled road up the hillside to the castle. There was no obvious parking so we dumped the car as out of the way as we could and had a quick scoot around the place.
The castle is thirteenth century and is most famous for the fourteenth century frescoes in the church of Our Lady de Sos Regnos Altos. This was the first place with obvious tourists there and there were a couple of tour groups as well as various individuals. Hardly crowded but busier than we are used to! We were probably in the castle for 15 minutes and then got back to the car, drove down the hill following the proper instructions and passed a large car park on a proper road. Ah well. Castle of Serravalle has a complete circuit of outer walls and towers that you can climb but the keep and interior buildings are now gone.
Marcus Hurley — Google review
Amazing views from up top this look out point. Cost $5 to enter. They take bank cards upon entry. Climb the top of the tower to get the best views. There is a QR code to read about the tour. Need strong legs to climb the step paths to the top.

It is a very beautiful castle that overlooks the entire town. Although it is now declined, it allows you to imagine a castle that once flourished. There is a beautiful fresco in the castle church. I was a little disappointed that I could not climb the tower in the castle. I think it would be nice to be able to go up to the tower with more careful management.

I'd rather call it an observation spot or photoshoot spot - not a castle. Some old walls but with a great views. The price of 4eur it's worth it but I'd expect that if they take a money so they invest In this place. But they don't as you can see on the photo. So you just pay for possibility of seeing Bosa from above - not for sightseeing castle.
Bogdan Bauer — Google review
A mighty castle on a hill at the edge of town. A path leads to the castle through the picturesque streets of the old part of the city, but you can also access the castle from two parking lots below the castle on the west side of the city.

Easily accessible from our accommodation. Plenty of sand and rocks to sunbathe on, though looking at others' photos, it gets much busier in the peak season! Fairly clean - there was a pantyliner floating along the shoreline on our first visit - and an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours.

The east side of the beach is better, there are no stones or algae in the water like on the western side. Great water and beach, less crowded than most others. Small enchanting village perfect for relaxing, but not many activities to do other than going to the beach or to a restaurant. Walking to Castelsardo is tricky as there is no sidewalk, best option remains by car.
Monte d'Accoddi, a prehistoric temple situated on an embankment and easily accessible from Sassari to Porto Torres road, is a rare attraction featuring excavated ruins of an open-air altar. Its unique construction style sets it apart from other Mediterranean structures with similarities only seen in the Mesopotamian ziggurats.
Magnificent and glorious, absolutely worth the visit
Kamila ?erven? — Google review
Unique prehistoric structure in Sardinia. Impressive kind of high altar surrounded by sacred stones (omphalos, standing stone, sacrificial slab). Definitely worth swinging by although access is a bit of a hassle. Ticket is 4 €, worth it You may ask at the desk for a guide in your language which you hand back. Detailed explanations about that 5,000-year old Osieri culture are fascinating.

Iside Guerriera — Google review
The site at Turris Libisonis had taken longer than planned but the next site was only about 15 minutes away. Monte d'Accoddi is around 5-6000 years old and looks like a ziggurat. Smaller than the ones of Mesopotamia it is nevertheless an impressive site and unique in Europe. The walls are around 5m tall and the access ramp is 25m and there were lots of wildflowers around the site. Next to it is a large flat stone that could have been a sacrificial altar or feasting table as lots of animals bones were discovered around it. There is also the remains of a neolithic village and one of the many menhirs on the island next to the ramp.
The lady at the site was extremely helpful and there was also a useful explanatory app. The aerial photos gave a far better idea of the site size and layout and it is strange that this site is pretty much unheard of while Stonehenge - far more mundane - is world famous. The site was in use from around 3000BC to around 1800BC, so it fell out of use around the time the nuraghe started being built.

A must see if you visit Sardinia. The first Ziqqurat dates back to ~ 5000 ( 3000 BC). You are not going to see anything like that in any other part of Europe. Our guide, Stefano Ligas was super, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Absolutely worth a visit.
