Exploring Gallura – The North East and Costa Smeralda

A tour along the Forest tracks in the hinterland of the Costa Smeralda, amongst granite, Mediterranean scrub, cork oak and fruit trees. Depending on the time of year it may be possible to have breaks to pick cherries or corbezzoli (Arbutus unedo). Along this route you can often see tortoises and there are planned breaks near to natural springs and panoramic sites. Facing the Costa Smeralda and The Gulf of Olbia, in good weather you can see l ' isola di Tavolara and the archipelago Maddalena. There are 2 possibilities for a lunch break: a pic-nic in a designated area or a typical Sardinian group lunch.

“We were in a Land Rover, and went inland and up a mountain for great views, stopping to learn about, and taste the fruit of Sardinian flora. Then we headed for the coast and saw Porto Cervo, and the beaches. It was a great tour, and I highly recommend Claudio!”
