Masua and the road towards it A bit off the beaten path but well-worth a detour. A dramatic, curvy road along the coastline will take you to this secluded beach with white sand, clear water and one of the island's most impressive natural monuments. I...

Cagliari After landing in Cagliari (which -along with Alghero- is one of the two cities in Sardinia with an airport), we rented a car and left the city only to come back at the end of our roundtrip. Pula Stop number one: the city center of Pula. In h...
