Dunes painted with the green of Mediterranean vegetation, secret lagoons where pink flamingos dance gracefully 🦩, the fauna and flora of the region will amaze you 😮. If you're keen on exploring further, the so-called "God's footprint" footprint of God 👣, a nickname for Sardinia, Cagliari is less than an hour away 🚗. Brimming with boutiques 🛍️ and restaurants 👨🏻‍🍳, the Marina offers a strategic spot for seaside strolls 🐳. From here, you can easily rent a boat 🚤 and explore the Sardinian coast at its best. Delving inland, the historic center of the city with the Bastione San Remy, built in the 19th century as part of the fortifications, is not far from the Torre dell’Elefante 🐘, which stands as one of Cagliari's most impressive and beloved buildings 😌. When it comes to dining 🍽️, Sardinian cuisine is known for being rich and flavorful yet simple. “But the best things in life… are the simplest”. Pane Carasau 🥖, Malloreddus 🍝, Culurgiones 🥟, Zuppa Gallurese 🧀 are just a taste of what's on offer 😋.
