A journey back through time, 5000 years of history in half a day, starting with the gigantic mushroom-shaped rock of ARZACHENA and the prehistoric nuraghe LA PRISCIONA and its village; then the picturesque village of SAN PANTALEO, set between peaks of granite. Then we will go to the COSTA SMERALDA with its capital PORTO CERVO, where we will visit La Piazza, the Old Port and the church of Stella Maris. After BAJA SARDINIA, we will visit Forte Capellini, which in the XIX century was a fortress.

The Mushroom rock in Arzachena was during the prehistoric times ( Cultura di San Ciriaco 3400 b.C.) was probably a base for the trade of obsidian with the near island of Corsica. The Nuraghe La Prisciona is a fortress built during the Bronze age which has a big village built around it .

We can’t recommend Matteo enough. He’s a very knowledgeable local with a wonderful energy. He picked us up in the north of the island and he curated a custom agenda for us based on our interests and our requested final destination in the south of the island. He was also flexible- helping us add and modify the agenda as ideas come up! We had an incredible day and arrived safely in the south of the island for part two of our trip. What an incredible way to see and learn more of the island, rather than just driving straight from point A to point B!
Thank you very much Kristy for this nice rating, where you describe, in a detailed way, a day which has been very pleasant also for me.
