For your 8-day tour from Pula to Montevecchio

An exciting warm up route will lead you to Chia, probably the most beautiful beach in southern Sardinia. Return to Pula riding along a coastal road with a breathtaking view.

We soon make the acquaintance of the landscape that will accompany us throughout the week: the Mediterranean forest with ilex and cork trees. In few kilometres the sharp bends of Pixinamanna take you up to 700mt a.s.l., but the following descent is the right reward for the effort made. Your destination tonight is an Agriturismo with genuine local cuisine surrounded by Carignano del Sulcis vineyards, the local grape.

Ride along the former mining site of Rosas, one of the most fascinating examples of mining archaelology, surrounded by the embrace of holm oak woods. It was one of the first ‘official’ mines in Sardinia. Today, the mining buildings and village have become an accurate and fascinating open-air museum exhibition of industrial archaeology. After enjoying a picnic in the idyllic setting of S’Ortu Mannu, a centenary olive grove, you reach the Domunovas, the village of the grottoes

Venture into the bowels of the earth to discover the scenic wonders of the San Giovanni cave. On the other side of the cave, you find the forest of Marganai, a natural paradise. A series of rugged peaks, covered in dense woodland vegetation whose scenic beauty is still intact. Visit the Roman temple of Antas, that for centuries laid undiscovered in a remote valley. End your day with a brilliant descent to Buggerru that takes you back to the sea at the spectacular bay of Portixeddu.

Today, we follow the coastline to reach the unspoilt beach of Scivu. The old villages of Ingortosu and Montevecchio remind us the significant role that mining played in this area in the years gone by.

Ride to one of the most fascinating spots of the island’s, the beach of Piscinas with its sand dunes over 50 m high - some of the highest in Europe. The afternoon climb is a nice way to say arrivederci to Sardinia as you slowly move inland from the Costa Verde following the unique profile of Monte Arcuentu.

After breakfast, end of service.

Frequently asked
questions

What info material will I receive for my bike tour?

Your travel documents usually include general travel information, a hotel list, a road book and/or detailed maps as well as a textual description of the route; you will also get luggage tags and possibly also vouchers and/or information material on the various sightseeing attractions. The exact contents of the information package depend on the booked trip and its included services.

The documents will be sent to you approx. two to three weeks before the start of your tour. Depending on the trip, you may receive them partly in digital form and partly by post – or you will receive the hotel list and general travel information in advance by e-mail, and the remaining documents along with the maps on site at your starting hotel.

Please note that the travel documents are issued exclusively for PEDALO guests and are therefore not available without a booking.

How does the luggage transport work?

The transport of your luggage from hotel to hotel is included as part of the basic service package for all staged tours and round trips in the PEDALO programme. You simply leave your luggage out for our courier in the morning before you set off on your cycling stage. When you arrive at your next accommodation in the late afternoon or early evening, it will be there waiting for you.

Just in case, we recommend always packing a change of clothes in your saddle bag, especially for short stages which you may cover more quickly than the luggage driver.

Depending on how the logistics are organised on site, there may be restrictions on the maximum weight and/or number of pieces of luggage. You will receive more detailed information on this with the travel documents well before the start of your trip.

Should I take out travel insurance?

Travel insurance is not included in our prices. You can decide whether to get a quote elsewhere or simply book your travel insurance online at pedalo.com/en/service/travel-insurance. In any case, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance!

Please note that for last-minute bookings (less than 30 days before the start of the trip), insurance cover can only be taken out within 3 days of booking.
