Your holiday in Sardinia
A taste of la Dolce Vita!
Italy is a passionate and generous country, with many different faces. It's a land of culture, art and fine cuisine, as well as being a holiday destination par excellence for anyone looking to relax under the the sun, enjoy active holidays by the sea or explore cultural attractions. From the Adriatic to Calabria, from Sicily to Sardinia, the famous Dolce Vita - a celebration of beauty and happiness - can be found everywhere.
Traditions, history and untouched landscapes
Sardinia's spectacular coastlines are among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean basin and its authentic mountainous hinterland have an equally irresistable pull which attracts countless visitors. Its rich cultural heritage bears witness to its age-old history and is just as impressive as its mouth-watering traditional cuisine. In the south, the coast around Cagliari dazzles with the azure blue of its crystal-clear sea and untouched nature. In the north, near the lovely port town of Olbia, a string of very beautiful beaches are interspersed with magnificent bays with turquoise waters. It's a perfect place for family seaside holidays.

Vous embarquerez à bord d’un ferry au port de Santa Teresa et, après environ une heure de navigation dans les Bouches de Bonifacio, vous atteindrez la Corse.
Bonifacio vous fascinera dès votre arrivée au port, qui ressemble à un fjord naturel de roche calcaire, et au sommet duquel se dresse fièrement l’ancienne citadelle médiévale. En levant les yeux vers la citadelle, le style architectural français à l’intérieur des anciens murs de la vieille ville vous invite à découvrir le passé d’une ville riche en histoire. Vous y entrerez par la Porte des Génois érigée au XIIIe siècle après J.-C., et, en passant par les ruelles pavées, vous découvrirez la cathédrale Sainte Marie Majeure et les traces d’illustres personnages historiques, dont le rois Charles Quint et Napoléon.
Vous pourrez, au choix, rester dans la citadelle médiévale ou descendre dans le quartier moderne du port pour y découvrir une autre facette de la ville. Perchée sur un superbe promontoire, elle a toujours été une destination stratégique au carrefour des différentes cultures méditerranéennes.Durée : environ 8 heures + les transferts
Inclus : la prise en charge et le retour de votre hôtel vers le port de Santa Teresa di Gallura, les services d’un guide anglophone, le ticket de ferry aller-retour
