Italy: Sardinia, Carloforte, Sulcis & Chia
If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path Sardinia cycling vacation with flexibility and support, you’ve found it! While most travel companies focus on Sardinia’s heavily-trafficked northeast seaboard, this VBT adventure avoids the tourist traps to bring you the island’s unsullied west coast. Here, our local experts have plotted out an itinerary of unhurried coastal byways with little car traffic—leaving you to pedal azure shores where you’re more likely to see shepherds tending sheep than cars or trucks. Ride the ferry to San Pietro Island for a two-night stay in charming Carloforte—then hop to Sant’Antioco Island where you’ll explore the ancient archeological site at Sulci. On this self-guided adventure, you have all the flexibility in the world to pedal at your own pace—and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have 24/7 local support if you need it. Along the way, enjoy spectacular sandy beaches, restaurants featuring vibrant Sardinian seafood (including the freshest tuna in the world!), and the unique cultural traditions that make this island unlike any place else on Earth.
Tour Highlights:
- Stay two nights in the cozy Carloforte, on San Pietro Island, where Pisan dialect is spoken and Napoleon left tracks of his stay
- Cycle spectacular coastal roads far from traffic and stop whenever you wish
- Stay in the seaside town of Torre dei Corsari near the beach with the tallest sand dunes in Europe
- Enjoy ample opportunities to swim in Mediterranean turquoise-blue bays at gorgeous sandy beaches
- Taste local specialties with fragrant vegetables and fresh fish and pasta that you can only find in Sardinia

Featured Destinations
Carloforte
Carloforte is a lovely fishing and resort town on Saint Peter's Island in the Mediterranean. Carloforte boasts a long standing tradition of wooden boat building. The industry is being kept alive by the dedication and skill of local craftsmen. Visitors will find several boat chartering, diving, and tourist businesses, which can be found along Carloforte's waterfront. Gorgeous beaches, both rocky and sandy, line the coast of the island. Some of the cliff-top views are nothing short of spectacular. On the other side of the island from Carloforte is a functioning lighthouse, locally known simply as 'il faro' and whose structure dates back to the 1880s.
