Detailed itinerary

The fine white sandy shoreline blends harmoniously with the sea of extraordinary blue and turquoise hues, creating a breathtaking contrast. Behind the beach lies the Notteri pond, a refuge for elegant pink flamingos. Surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and guarded by the imposing Aragonese tower, the beach presents itself as a corner of unspoilt nature.

The sea at Punta Molentis, in Villasimius, is a true piece of paradise, with clear waters that fade from turquoise to deep blue. The beach, surrounded by cliffs and hills covered with Mediterranean scrub, exudes a feeling of serenity and intimacy. The landscape, marked by an incredible variety of colours, creates a breathtaking scenery.

Isola dei Cavoli, located less than a kilometre from Capo Carbonara, is a small natural paradise with rugged coastline and crystal-clear waters. It is famous for its marine fauna, with dolphins, barracudas and a rich biodiversity of fish. The lighthouse, built in the 19th century, is the symbol of the island, which together with Serpentara is part of the marine protected area of Capo Carbonara.
