The use of a local guide is recommended in these areas. Interesting option for the skiers are the cliffs of Cala Gonone and Irgoli represents an excellent starting point because this bay is only 25-30 minutes drive from the ski area. The place is an excellent starting point for discovering beautiful caves, coves and beaches in the south. Adventure cruises are offered for visitors and you can also rent boats and canoes.
Over the whole island of Sardinia are around 7,000 "Nuraghi". These ancient megalithic edifices are scattered in the northwest and south-central parts of the island and are the symbol of Sardinia. The conical, truncated towers sometimes reach a height of 25 meters. These can be 4-7 m thick and originate from around 1500 BC. They look like fortresses, houses, temples and tombs. Especially those located in north of Cagliari and in the city of Sassari are worth a visit.
