A Nuragic site refers to ancient stone constructions found mainly in Sardinia, dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages (around 1500-500 BC). These complexes, featuring central towers known as "nuraghe," served as hubs for the ancient Nuragic civilization and often include round stone huts and fortifications. Nuragic sites are emblematic of Sardinia and provide insight into the life and culture of its ancient inhabitants.

Tour description
Explore the authentic heart of Gallura on this full-day private journey through landscapes shaped by granite, ancient civilizations, and deeply rooted traditions. Far from the coast, this experience reveals a lesser-known Sardinia, where history, craftsmanship, and everyday life remain closely connected to the land.
Traveling comfortably with private transportation, you move through small Gallura villages set among dramatic rock formations and Mediterranean vegetation. Walking through their historic centers, your guide introduces local customs, rural architecture, and the slow rhythms that still define daily life in this part of the island.
The experience then takes you thousands of years back in time with a visit to a Nuragic archaeological complex. Accompanied by an expert private guide, you explore massive stone structures built over 4,000 years ago, learning how this prehistoric civilization organized its society, defended its territory, and expressed ritual and power through architecture. The visit offers clear insight into one of the most distinctive cultures of the ancient Mediterranean.
Midday brings a pause for a traditional Sardinian lunch, where regional dishes highlight local ingredients and time-honored recipes. This moment is an essential part of the experience, allowing you to connect with Gallura through its flavors in a relaxed, authentic setting.
In the afternoon, the tour continues with a visit to the Cork Museum, dedicated to one of Sardinia’s most important traditional industries. Here you discover the full cork cycle, from harvesting to transformation, and see how this natural material has been used for generations in wine production, footwear, and artisan objects. The visit offers a deeper understanding of how landscape and economy have shaped Gallura’s identity.
Designed for travelers staying in Northeast Sardinia, this private tour offers a seamless and enriching way to experience the island beyond its beaches, combining villages, archaeology, food, and craftsmanship into a single, well-balanced day.
