CYCle SArDiniA
With superb coastal scenery, mountain landscapes and a climate to match, the Mediterranean island of Sardinia is perfectly suited to a cycle holiday. Our twin- centre trip starts in the west, exploring the dramatic coastline and Malvasia vineyards. Crossing the rugged interior we pass through mountains and beautiful traditional villages. In the eastern town of Orosei we cycle Bidderosa Natural reserve, idyllic beaches and culminate with the grand Supramonte mountains.
