About the Tour
Some historians say that Sardinia is none other than the mythical Atlantis. Easy to believe: it is a wonderful region full of treasures and its oldest buildings, the “nuraghe”, date back 3,500 years and more.
Sardinia is famous for its fantastic emerald sea and coastline, for its twisty, beautiful, and perfectly paved roads, and for its excellent food and wines, different from any other Italian region.
The local idiom, is more a language than an Italian dialect; full of spanish and arabic words, is totally incomprehensible to any other Italian. That is one of the reasons why Sardinians have been conquered many times over the centuries, but never really subdued.
