Stop 2
The tour continues to discover the next stop, the fascinating Sella del Diavolo (The Devil's Saddle), one of Cagliari's most famous attractions. The Sella del Diavolo (The Devil's Saddle) takes its name from the ancient legend according to which Lucifer fell in love with the beauty of the Gulf of Cagliari and tried to take it over, but was thrown from his horse by the archangel Michael. Losing his saddle, it fell into the waters of the gulf and petrified, giving rise to the current promontory. You will have the opportunity to dive into crystal-clear waters and enjoy an extraordinary landscape that can only be reached by sea.

The tour concludes with a visit to the third stop, the Poetto beach, also known as the beach of the hundred thousand due to its large summer crowds. Poetto is one of Cagliari's most popular beaches and stretches for about 8 km. Crystal-clear water and a sandy seabed characterised this beach, once famous for salt extraction.
