In Sardinia, there’s a remarkable spot where one can stand in a Roman theater and gaze out over the sea once navigated by Phoenician sailors, where history feels remarkably near. This place is Nora.
Join a small group tour led by an expert English-speaking guide from Cagliari. On the way, you’ll pass the Santa Gilla Lagoon, a year-round haven for wild pink flamingos.
The tour includes a visit to the church of Sant’Efisio, an 11th-century chapel dedicated to Sardinia’s most cherished saint, where you’ll learn about the renowned procession held in Cagliari every May 1st.
Next, explore Nora. Originally established by the Phoenicians, expanded by the Carthaginians, and transformed by the Romans, Nora was inhabited for centuries until the sea reclaimed its lower sections. What remains are a theater with a sea view, thermal baths, mosaics, temples, and streets — all set against a backdrop of turquoise sea and golden sand.
