On the central-western coast of Sardinia lies the Sinis Peninsula, an unspoiled paradise recognized as an "Eden" destination of excellence by the European Commission. This natural gem offers a stunning backdrop for year-round outdoor activities, from hiking to birdwatching. To explore the rich prehistory and history of the Sinis, head to its southern tip at Tharros, an ancient site that evolved from a Nuragic village to a Phoenician colony, a Carthaginian port, a Roman city, and the first capital of the Judicate of Arborea.
