Hunt down history

Medieval Oristano was founded back in the 11th century, and today, it’s like walking around an open-air museum. One of the main highlights is the Tower of St. Christopher, which overlooks the whole city. Why not climb to the top and see how much you can spot?

Try out the wonderful waterspots

You’ve got the pick of the beaches in the surrounding area, and many offer exciting opportunities for water sports! If you love snorkelling, make a beeline for the S’Archittu natural arch. It’s a 30-minute drive away but you’ll be bowled over by its unique rock formations.

Stunning sunsets

Think the island’s pretty in the daytime? Just wait until the sun goes down and you’ll be treated to breathtaking sunsets. Visit the nearby Sinis Peninsula for one of the best here! The sun paints the sky with fiery oranges, soft pinks and deep purples over the shimmering Med.
