Look out for the village of Villamar with its characteristic houses and wall paintings that depict rural, Sardinian life. Also admire the castle on top of the extraordinary conical hill of Las Plassas. Both highlights offer wonderful photo opportunities and a thorough explanation from your guide.
Visit the Neolithic Nuraghic village of Su Nuraxi of Barumini; a fascinating archaeological site and the largest Nuraghic complex in Sardinia. Noted as a monument of primary architectural importance on the island, this amazing, historic location has also been registered on theUNESCO World Heritage list since 1997. Still shrouded in mystery and used for centuries as a place of habitation, this ruinous fortification still consists of a central tower that dates back to 1500 BC, a four-turret bastion, an outer wall with seven towers and two main entrances. Around the fortress lies a village that consists of religious structures, meeting places and homes which all offer an insight into the civilisations that have lived there.
Your guide will bring the whole place to life for you with stories and tales, before leading you on to a nearby, premium winery for a very different experience.
Enjoy the opportunity to explore the world of Sardinian wine with a tasting session. A selection of local wines will be served, along with a variety of cheese and bread and you can sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere before returning to the ship in Cagliari.
