How many times experienced cyclists asked us for an alternative road cycling holiday apart from the busy island of Mallorca? You will get great scenery, no traffic, and superb routes to choose from.

Sardinia is like heaven for any keen road cyclist: the roads are perfectly paved and free from motorized traffic. This beautiful trip will take you due to the heart of the most ancient land in Europe. Among mountains sculpted by wind and sun, with its deep canyons, discover nature in its most savage form, archaeological remains which are unique in the world, and traditions with their roots lost in the dawn of history.
