The excursion to Villasimius is an excellent opportunity to visit the coast lying to the south-east of Cagliari. The beautiful white sand beaches with a sparkling emerald sea and the reflections of the Marine Protected area of Capo Carbonara are the stars of this tour.
A visit that will allow you to discover an ancient coastal fortress (Fortezza Vecchia from XVI century) and of a granite quarry (Cava Usai) closed in the 50s that has kept all its charm thanks to its location in front of the sea. You will enjoy the sight of the beautiful bays with the surrounding islands and breathe the scents of the Mediterranean shrubs.
A day spent relaxing on the beach, immersed in an environment that will reconcile you with nature. With a simple walk you can reach the golden cliffs from which junipers descend towards the sea. This idyllic atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of the Notteri pond, located behind the beach from which it is separated by a thin strip of white sand. This amazing wetland shelters a rich and varied birdlife.
Villasimius itself is a jewel, a coveted tourist destination with a vibrant town centre full of shops with souvenirs and typical Sardinian handicrafts.
