Itinerary

Tempio Pausania
In Tempio Pausania, you step into a timeless Gallurese town famed as the “city of stone”, where elegant granite-paved streets and historic plazas reflect centuries of Sardinian life at the foot of Mount Limbara — a contrast to typical coastal stops. Your guide leads you through its charming centre, sharing local stories, from the medieval roots of Piazza Gallura and rustic stone façades to the Cathedral of San Pietro Apostolo and cozy cafés lining the square. Here you feel the authentic pulse of everyday Italian culture, relaxed and unhurried, with moments to savour local flavours or simply enjoy the gentle rhythm of this heritage-rich town.

Aggius
Discover Aggius, a tranquil Gallurese village framed by rolling granite hills and centuries-old craftsmanship. Nestled by the rugged Valle della Luna, this officially recognized heritage village feels like a living cultural treasure. Its historic centre is an open-air showcase of traditional granite architecture, where narrow streets wind between homes constructed from carefully hewn local granite blocks — a material that defines both the village’s built environment and its historical identity. These granite houses, among the most beautiful in the region, were crafted with meticulous care by past generations and blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
