We will begin to walk uphill along the coast, towards Sa Perda Stampada, a rock with a hole through which it is possible to admire the Coccorrocci beach; we will continue going down towards Foxi Manna, passing by the rock Su Brecconi and Cala Niedda. We will then visit the Nuraghe Aleri, a tholos nuraghe, built between 1500 and 1200 BC, which has an irregular five-lobed shape. After a break for lunch we will set off again, going up the south-western side of Punta Cartucceddu towards the Piscine di Monte Ferru, beautiful natural ponds carved by the erosion of the stream in the red porphyry rock. We will take a little break to freshen up before returning to the starting point.

December 2019 We have just had 3 days with Gianfranco and cannot recommend his guiding abilities too strongly. First day was an historical tour of Tortoli & Arbatax but outside the towns up on the hills finishing at the port in Arbatax. From prehistoric to WW2 in one day was absolutely fascinating. Day 2 was a 13 km walk some bits tougher than others but always amazing views. Day 3 was on the highest mountains to look at the lakes and villages topped off by a wine tasting at a very small producer of super Cannonau wine. On all 3 days Gianfranco’s enthusiasm and extensive knowledge kept us going from historical & geological to botanical & gastronomical all supplemented by vignettes of good conversation but without becoming too much. Plus the picnic stops are in just the right places! We had already booked our accommodation elsewhere but having met Juliet too I can imagine they are fantastic hosts. Please use Go Comida and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. September 2020 Back in Tortolì we have just used Gianfranco again for two walks. The standard of guiding, information and general conversation is still excellent. The day can be as hard or relaxing as you like so don’t think you’ve got to be super fit, Gianfranco will tune the day to your wishes and capabilities. Oh, and there’s even good coffee made on his gas stove at lunchtime! Again, can’t recommend Go Comida enough.

These place are really unique in Sardinia, probably the best coast with stunning sceneries, incredible clear waters, and the possibility to make the tour on board a special sailboat, equipped with alla comforts including air conditioning, large swimming platform, large Bimini for shadow, a fridge and a freezer, a new dinghy with a powerful 15hp outboard. Plus, we have been sailing these seas for ten years now and know all their secrets...

First, the boat (the Blue Magic) is very comfortable. You can find on this boat of 49 feet everything you need. We had the biggest room with my wife, my sons (9 et 5 years old) were in a smallest one together but sufficient. Then Bobo, the skipper : very nice with all of us, very funny too. He's a very good skipper, very safe. No one had seasickness on board and i'm sure Bobo was the key with very sweet navigations every day. Giusy, Bobo's wife, took care of us every single minute of the cruise with so much kindness and sweet attentions. She's a very good diver and if something has to be observed under the see, she sees it at each time ! So impressive. She's a very good cooker, her coffee Moka is delicious obviously with a dozen of Molinetti cookies ;-) The cruise took us from Santa Maria Navarrese and Ogliastra to the North of Magdalena archipel and then we came back to Olbia. Very nice trip, just one day off nav because ok thunderstorms. So much marvelous sites, calas, snorkel spots, and fun. We've lived with them so easily ! To conclude, it was like paradise during a week. Bobo and Giusy are the perfect hosts. I can assure you we'll be back on board soon for Sardinia west coast cruise on the Blue Magic with both of them. Further more, 2 painful moments during the cruise : the minute you get back in your pants after a week on board living in a swimsuit (like to be in jail), and the time to say goodbye to Bobo an Giusy because they became a part of our family :-(( Last advice : 2 swimsuits, 2 T-shirts, 2 shorts for each person on board is enough for the entire week, so forget trolley and all the unuseful stuff you usually take on vacation

Come and discover it in this beautiful walk whose path takes place mainly on the plain with a slight gradient in the central part. It is suitable for all those who are in good health and have no walking disabilities.

7. Hike to Perda Liana - Pitzu Margiani Pubusa

Snack Bar Boomerang, Via S. Locci, 5, 08048 Tortolì NU, Italy Go Comida - Experience Sardinia

The Tacchi are limestone rock formations; the remainder part following a long erosion (karst) process that began millions of years ago. Among all the Tacchi of the Ogliastra region, also called Tonneri in the south western side, Perda Liana is certainly the most peculiar. Perda Liana rises up to 1293 m asl and offers visitors breathtaking views. This excursion will also take us to visit another point, called Pitzu Margiani Pubusa (Spike of the fox and the hoopoe), from the top of which point, at 1324 m asl, you can admire the fascinating mountains of the heart of Sardinia, from the near Gennargentu to the Barbagia di Seulo.

We were staying at Villasimius and we were advised to visit the port of Arbatax and take a ride on a boat. We hadn’t booked anything the day before, so we went there and checked the excursions. Mrs Inna was very helpful and polite! She gave us all the details and even though we arrived a bit late (11:00) and most of the boatd had been already rented, she managed to find us a boat. We paid €100 for half day (until 18:00) and they provided us with an umbrella and a cooler for our food and drinks. The two men that guided us to the boat and explained us a few things were very polite and helpful, even though they didn’t speak in English. No words can describe our boat ride to the caves of Sardinia and the magical waters! It’s an experience no one should miss! We loved Cala Coloritze’ and the view in general! Truly amazing! We arrived back to the port at 17:30 and we paid for the fuel only €38. Totally value for money and worth it in general! Best boat rental in Sardinia! Thank you guys! Спасибо большое Инна! ❤️

10. Excursion to the Osini Heels - Tour of the Nuraghi

Snack Bar Boomerang, Via S. Locci, 5, 08048 Tortolì NU, Italy Go Comida - Experience Sardinia

 The beauty of the Tacchi plateau is certainly confirmed by the beauty of the landscapes and the particularities that we find in the Osini area. In addition, however, here we find a gentle path with an uneven gradient that allows you to take an excursion even to those who are not really in good shape. However, this is a nice 13 km daily excursion that will take us to visit two caves and two nuraghi, one of which - Serbissi - is the only one in Sardinia to be built over a cave, which we will visit. Let us remember a torch for visiting the cave.

Inclusions: Entrance ticket to the Serbissi nuraghe, Excursion guided by a qualified and certified Environmental Hiking Guide

Exclusions: Bottled water, Lunch, Snacks
