Day 3
1
Poetto
Rest from yesterday's walking tour and travel to the beautiful Poetto because in Cagliari, the sun shines all day and the sea is always ready and waiting.
Note: Make sure to bring good sun protection, especially in the warmer months!
The beach of Cagliari is the Poetto, home to some “kiosks” for light refreshment or to enjoy an ice cold beer.
In summer it is home to important musical events and a place of entertainment hosting discos on the sand.
If the temperature allows it, a nice dive is a must; the crystal clear water, the fine white beach could make us lose track of time and keep us for hours under the sun.
Go back to your hotel in the late afternoon.
