About this tour
Eight days cycling through southwestern Sardinia, tracing a route that connects rugged coastlines, abandoned mining heritage, and island-hopping opportunities. This itinerary threads together the Sinis peninsula, Costa Verde, and the Sulcis mining region, staying in three-star hotels and rural guesthouses. You'll cover moderate daily distances on quiet roads, discovering archaeological remnants and untouched beaches without the organised-tour feel. Breakfasts included; baggage moves ahead each day.
Highlights
- Ancient Tharros ruins on the Sinis peninsula
- Dunes and coastal bluffs at Piscinas
- Disused mines of the Sulcis district
- Ferry rides to Carloforte and Sant'Antioco islands
- Costa del Sud clifftop sections
- Empty beaches throughout southwestern coast
What to expect
This is a self-guided ride with digital route notes rather than a group convoy. Daily stages are designed for moderate fitness—expect 30–50 km of riding depending on the day, mostly on secondary roads with manageable gradients. You'll stay in a mix of small-town hotels and family-run agriturismos, all with private bathrooms. Each morning you depart after breakfast; your luggage travels separately and waits at the next stop. The landscape shifts between littoral flats, mining ruins visible from roads, and occasional steep sections where the interior rises toward the coast. Navigation is straightforward; the support team is reachable by phone if you need help.
