Nuraghi towers – unseco site barumini
Those rugged mountains, pocked with caves, are home to large flocks of sheep that feed on pungent wild herbs and produce a cheese your palate will never forget. While a winding coastal drive—perfect for a roadster —offers dramatic Mediterranean views and a powerful adrenaline rush, the real highlights are the actual rocks. More precisely, the prehistoric stone dwellings found in the mountainous interior, the island is home to more than 7,000 stone Nuraghi towers, Bronze Age castles built between 1600 and 1100 B.C.

Tour Reviews
I recently completed a self-guided bike tour on the west coast of Sardinia. This was my third bike tour with Cicloposse. As usual Giuliana did a great job with setting up the tour and answering all my questions through e-mail. Mauro also did a thorough job with the bike fitting and route suggestions. He also showed his enthusiasm for the Sardinia island and culture. The bike routes on these tours take place along secondary roads with great scenery and low traffic. Most of all is the high quality, lightweight bike that they provide which helps this 60 year old travel more easily up those challenging hills in the Tuscan and Sardinian country sides.
Hi Guiliana, We wanted to say what a wonderful time we had on our bike trip. All the route details were mapped out well and so easy to follow. The tips about where to stop were wonderful. The bikes were also high quality and made those hills a bit easier to climb. We saw so many amazing views of the countryside while riding. The towns we stopped in were also all so wonderful. Thanks.
