Itinerary
Cycle along the spectacular southwest coast of Sardinia to discover Phoenician Ruins and beautiful white sandy beaches. Cycle through the untamed beauty of south-western Sardinia on a self-guided journey where freedom meets nature. This captivating route blends rugged cliffs, sweeping sand dunes and crystal-clear waters with cultural treasures and hidden trails waiting to be explored at your pace. Starting in the bird-filled Sinis wetlands—home to pink flamingos and the archaeological ruins of Tharros—you’ll pedal along quiet coastal roads and ancient paths lined with Mediterranean scrub. Continue south past beaches made of white quartz and through Costa Verde, one of Sardinia’s most remote and unspoiled regions. As you ride through abandoned mining villages like Ingurtosu and Planusartu, history and scenery collide. Take in the dramatic sea stacks of Pan di Zucchero and the golden sands of Portixeddu before descending to Fontanamare. The journey culminates with a ride along the spectacular Costa del Sud—where gleaming white beaches and hidden coves lead you to the ancient Phoenician settlement of Nora.

Customer Reviews
My husband and I, both aged in our 70s, loved our cycle trip in SW Sardinia. The e-bikes took the hard work out of the hills and there was plenty of flat cycling which made the 60-70km days easier. We enjoyed the hill sections up to and down from Arbus but particularly loved the coastal rides on Day 3 and Day 6. The standard of accommodation was excellent and the meals in the hotels were very good. Each hotel had a lovely swimming pool which we were very grateful for to cool off each day after our ride. There were always great cafes and restaurants to stop off for coffee and lunch, many of them overlooking the sea. The only negatives were the gravel sections which were rough and a bit tedious.
It was challenging for us in our very early 60s but such an adventure. Really loved Sardinia and it was great to be among other people but also quite independent of each other so no pressure. Lots of stops along the route for swims and picnics and dreamy sights, beaches and weather.
Very much enjoyed our cycle ride in Sardinia. The bikes and accommodation provided were of a good standard. The route and distances provided a moderate challenge which was expected. Plenty of points of interest to visit along the way including the beautiful beaches for swim breaks.
We had a great trip, the bikes were great, the route was really lovely and the scenery was astounding.
The team were terrific to deal with in the lead up to the trip. They were extremely responsive and knowledgeable and we're able to answer all our questions. This was our first e-bike trip and all our concerns were alleviated by the team. When we arrive in Sardinia, the representative who met us walked us through the bikes, how to get the best out of them and maximise our enjoyment of the tour. Each day was terrific with great views (and yes there were some hills to climb but the e-bikes make this a lot easier). The accommodation was great, the food particularly enjoyable. I would highly recommend them and their self guided tours. We'll be back for another trip for sure.
