This half-day excursion takes you on a tour of the city with your friendly local guide, who will show you some of the amazing buildings, and introduce you to the wonderful culture.
During your tour of the town, you will visit the 16th Century Cathedral, which is built in the late Renaissance style. Many changes have been made over recent years and a Neo-Classical Narthex was added to the front of the building changing it dramatically. The main square or Palazzo Carcassona makes for a fabulous meeting point where you will find boutique shops and typically Italian cafes. There are also several beautiful smaller churches which you will be able to visit.
After your tour of the main town, your guide will take you on a drive into the panoramic hills on the outskirts where you will make several stops in the quest for the most spectacular view. You will also visit the beautiful Capo Caccia area located on a limestone triangle that wedges out into the sea. CAPA Caccia is well known for its labyrinth of mysterious caves which were discovered in 1700.
Your final stop will be the ancient town of Palmavera. The town is one of the largest and most important Nuaghic sites on the island, where you will find the remains of a palace surrounded by a cluster of circular huts. The town dates back to around the 14th Century BC and is a magnificent sight to see.
