Sardinia & Corsica

London to Cagliari and the ‘Trenino Verde’

We take the short flight from London to Cagliari where we enjoy a city tour before checking into our hotel, the Regina Margherita. On Day 2 we transfer to Macomer, where we board the privately-chartered Trenino Verde, for an amazing journey through some of Sardinia's wildest countryside to Bosa, one of the region's most attractive towns, stopping en-route in Sindia. After a guided walking tour, we travel along the scenic coastal road, which offers sensational panoramas, to Alghero, our home for the next two nights.

Orgosolo and the Costa Smeralda

Today we visit Nuraghe Palmavera, an ancient stone edifice exclusive to the island. On our return to Alghero we embark on a walking tour of the historic centre and medieval quarter. We reboard the Trenino Verde on Day 4 for a journey to through spellbinding scenery to the alluring Emerald Coast, visiting Lago Liscia along the way, before ending our day in Palau, our base for four nights. Day 5 is at leisure.

Cruise to Corsica and La Maddalena

Today we board the ferry for a visit to Corsica, arriving at the southern town of Bonifacio, where you are free to explore.

On Day 7, we take the ferry to firstly La Maddalena, in the heart of the Maddalena archipelago, for a tour of the tiny island's many bays and coves. We also discover the Caprera Islands, and visit the Garabaldi Museum.

Orgosolo

Our coach excursion today takes us to Orgosolo, a town with a politically-charged, turbulent history that has emerged as one of Sardinia's most fascinating destinations. Your time here is free and the town's biggest draw is undoubtedly its vibrant, graffiti-style murals. Afterwards we return to Cagliari.

Vintage rail to Laconi

We make the journey to Isili today where we join a classic railcar of the Trenino Verde to Laconi. Laid across the Sarcidano plateau, it is a natural and cultural paradise characterised by verdant woodland. On Day 10 we transfer to the airport for our flight back to London.
