Description

An island with a white sandy coastline and turquoise waters, Mediterranean scrub, cork oak forests, the majestic limestone landscapes of Supramonte, the strong presence of an archaeological past and the warm welcome of the Sardinians... this is what awaits you on this hiking holiday in Sardinia!

During one week, you will have the opportunity to discover the treasures of this unknown island, and you will also be able to photograph them to bring back beautiful pictures.

The hikes are of intermediate level, with daily positive differences in altitude of 400 meters on average, for a walking time of 4 to 6 hours.

If you want to discover another Mediterranean island nearby, you might follow me for these sea and mountain hikes in Corsica.
