Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Travel Cagliari's coastline to Nora to explore Sardinia's first settlement, now an archeological excavation site and open-air museum. Lace up your walking shoes and bring adequate sun protection for this half-day tour. Meet your guide and embark on a narrated walk through the ruins to glimpse life in this ancient Roman village settled by the nuraghic people. See a Carthaginian temple dedicated to the goddess Tanit, a Roman theater still used today for summer concerts, the Temple of Aesculapius, the baths of Terme A Mare (Spa by the Sea), and several structures with intact mosaics. Surrounding Nora is breathtaking scenery, and views from this promontory stretch out to the beaches and the Tower of Coltellazzo in the distance. On your return, stop to photograph the 11th century Sant'Efisio Church, where the saint was martyred. Return to port with a camera filled with pictures of this historical day.

Special Notes:

Wear comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots and bring a hat and adequate sun protection.
