SARDEGNA NORD

Best birthday adventure yet! What a wonderful introduction to the beautiful Mediterranean island of Sardegna. We take you
on a stunning cycling tour exploring two northern coastal regions – we couldn’t resist giving you a taste of both the east and west coast. We stay in just two locations so you have time to really immerse yourself.

The tour starts in the Catalan city of Alghero. From the ‘Coral Riviera’, we wend our way east towards the stunning Costa Smeralda. Historic towns and villages perched on a brilliant coastline with turquoise seas and pristine beaches, yours to enjoy. You will be enchanted by the warm-hearted locals, their hospitality, the delicious food and wine they bring to table and the cycling – some of the best in Italy.

Join Monika for this all-out birthday adventure on gorgeous Sardegna. Andiamo!
