Visit the wonderful Roman city of Nora, nestled between the sea and the lagoon, with its charming streets and fascinating remains of buildings, baths and a theatre. For centuries, it was a perfect port of call for ships sailing the Mediterranean, with the headland sheltering the harbour from the waves.

The return journey is equally spectacular, with the road skirting the large Santa Gilla lagoon, where you can spot red-winged flamingos peacefully going about their business nearby.

The experience concludes with a scenic tour of Cagliari, with breathtaking views from the historic ramparts over the sea and gulf.
