Trekking Across The Island Of Sardinia

If youre planning a holiday to Sardinia, villas are the ideal accommodation to give

you the freedom and independence to have the kind of break you are yearning for. On this side of the Mediterranean that freedom means, for the outdoor enthusiast, trekking adventures beckon everywhere you turn. The island, with its natural bounties and breathtaking beauty, is best enjoyed in a leisurely pace, and what better way to do that than by walking or hiking.

Trekking in Gorropu

First of all, trekking is not for everyoneit can be physically demanding and it chooses its participants. And in a place like Sardinia, villas are situated in a landscape that can surprise you with unexpected twists and turns. A seemingly harmless trek could quickly become a risky venture if you don't plan and prepare. But if youre physically fit and gung ho enough, with the help of competent guides, trekking is one of the most unforgettable activities you can do while youre here.

In the eastern part of the island, for example, youll find the magical gorge or canyon called Gorropu. Created by the corrosive action of the Flumineddu River, millions of years ago, the Gorropu Gorge is renowned as Italys deepest canyon. A Gorropu trekking adventure usually takes about five hours to complete, after which youll be treated to a hearty meal and the warm hospitality of the locals. And if you visit during the right season, you can even swim in the crystal clear pools of the Flumineddu River.

The Cala Luna Experience

Depending on where on Sardinia villas have tempted you to stay, you can reach Cala Luna typically through the Cala Fuili route. And once youre in Cala Luna, youll be thinking of only one thing: Paradise. Indeed, trekking across Cala Luna is easily manageable even on a hot, sunny dayyou can simply dive into the cool blue water when you get a little warm. Whats more, Cala Luna is home to a number of large caves that front the sea, and pitching your tent and spending the night in the mouth of one of such caves can be an unforgettable experience.

Exploring Tiscalis Mystery

Tiscali is home to very interesting prehistoric ruins that belong to what is called the nuraghic civilization. If youre staying on Sardinia, villas in the Dorgali will place you close to the so-called Tiscali ruins. The mountain of Tiscali rises more than five hundred metres from the Lanaitto Valley, and on your way to see the famous nuraghic ruins, youll walk along nature trails of astonishing beauty, inhabited by myriad interesting wildlife. You will also enjoy incredibly beautiful views of the surrounding peaks rising gently from the undulating valleys. And, after reaching the hidden village, you can finally cap the adventure with a refreshing stop at Barbagias famous spring.
