Itinerary 7 days in sardinia: between unmissable beaches and secrets of the island

Like every summer, Sardinia opens its doors to tourists from all over the world. Whether you are about to visit the island for the first time or you consider it as a “second home“, this place always has something new to tell. Here is the itinerary for 7 days in Sardinia that Sa Pardina has created for you in order to discover, starting from Orroli, all the wonders of this timeless place.

ITINERARY 1ST DAY: DISCOVERING ORROLI, THE PROVINCE OF CAGLIARI

Whether you choose a plane or ferry, arriving in Cagliari is very easy. From here, you can reach Orroli in about 1 hour by car. During the journey, you will have the opportunity to discover the first secrets of Sardinia.

When you reach Sa Pardina, you will be welcomed by Paolo who will show you your room and tell you something more about Orroli.

For your first day of the itinerary, we suggest for you to discover the village. Walking through it, you will come across traditional architecture, archaeological finds, and great places to eat and drink. In Orroli, there are also events, fairs, festivals, and exhibitions.

ITINERARY 2ND DAY: THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND BOTANICAL PARK ON MOTTI AND LAKE MULARGIA

After the excellent breakfast served by Sa Pardina, there are many activities that can be carried out in the surroundings of Orroli. After preparing a delicious packed lunch, your second day of discovery of Sardinia can begin. The Su Motti Archeological and Botanical Park is a great way to discover the countryside. Here, you can take walks and go trekking. In addition to the flora and fauna that decorate this area, you will feel like you are taking a trip back in time.

In fact, inside the park, there are archaeological finds that will show you the history of this area and of Sardinia, such as the Pitziogu volcano and the hypogeic necropolis, which has 15 ancient tombs dug into the rock.

After the walk, a boat tour (also at sunset for the most romantic ones) of the Mulargia Lake is not to be missed.

ITINERARY DAY 3: BETWEEN THE NURAGHE ARRUBBIU AND ISILI

The third day of your itinerary in Sardinia can only start with a visit to the Nuraghe Arrubbiu, one of the symbols par excellence of Orroli. This open-air museum consists of wonderful ruins dating back to the Bronze Age, spread over almost a hectare of surface.

In the afternoon, you can leave Orroli to visit nearby places, such as the village of Isili. From there, you can take the “little green train – Trenino Verde“, which is one of the symbols of Sardinia, visit the lake, or enjoy some sports, such as climbing, canoeing, and fishing. A vacation in a magical place like Sardinia is the ideal solution for you to get involved and be a part of it!

4° DAY IN SARDINIA: DISCOVERING THE WHITE BEACH IS ARUTAS

After experiencing the beauties of the inland area of Sardinia, we suggest for you to go to and discover the white beaches that decorate the coasts of this beautiful island. As always, Paolo and the staff of Sa Pardina will advise you, but we want to give you a taste of what you can experience.

The Sinis peninsula, located about 100 km from Orroli, contains some of the most beautiful and unforgettable beaches of Sardinia, among which Is Arutas stands out. The characteristic of this place is the white beach, which is almost unobtainable elsewhere. It is a place that is not to be missed for an unforgettable vacation in Sardinia.

DAY 5 IN SARDINIA: VILLASIMIUS

Anyone who knows Sardinia knows Villasimius. It is one of the most beautiful beaches of the island. That’s why, before ending your vacation in Sardinia, we suggest for you to dedicate a day to experience the clear and bewitching sea of Villasimius. Located 90 km from Orroli, Villasimius is a pearl of southern Sardinia. Blue and white are the protagonists of the many small beaches that enrich this place, from spiaggia del Riso to cala Caterina. Before leaving, don’t forget to ask the Sa Pardina team how to best enjoy your discovery of Villasimius.

ITINERARY IN SARDINIA: ON THE 6TH DAY, DISCOVER PULA, BETWEEN THE SEA AND HISTORY

During your penultimate day in Orroli, we recommend a visit to Pula, which is a small town that is located 100 km from Orroli. Between nightlife and history, you will experience a last day in Sardinia that will remain in your heart. You can walk in the Archaeological Park of Nora, discover the Phoenician remains of Capo Pula, and enjoy a timeless sunset between the sea and history.

LAST DAY IN SARDINIA: WHAT TO DO IN CAGLIARI

Before returning home, during your last day of the itinerary in Sardinia, a visit to the beautiful Cagliari is a must. In this short time at your disposal, we suggest for you to see every secret of the city by walking through its streets.

Among the most unmissable activities:

• a visit to the Castle district, the oldest in the city;
• a walk on the Elephant Tower and the Tower of San Pancrazio;
• a visit to the gardens under Le Mura.

These 7 days in Sardinia have come to an end, but the island still has much to show you, and the B&B in Orroli Sa Pardina cannot wait to welcome you in its beautiful rooms to let you discover them all.
