Unique cycling tour Sardinia

An ancient land with an ancient language Sardinia is a uniquely fascinating place, forged by many centuries of culture and history, in its strategic position at the center of Mediterranean, standing silently ever-present across the island, the enigmatic Nuraghes: these round fortresses built in pre-historic times still survive.
