Sardinia offers diverse trekking routes and ancient archaeological sites
Sardinia offers a diverse landscape that extends far beyond its famous coastline, encompassing wild interior regions, limestone gorges, and ancient archaeological sites. For those interested in trekking, the island provides challenging routes such as Gorroppu and Tiscali, which require proper preparation including sturdy footwear and sufficient water to manage heat and rocky terrain.
The island is also a significant site for prehistoric archaeology. Experts, including Professor Riccardo Cicilloni from the University of Cagliari, highlight the importance of sites like the Domus de Janas (Neolithic rock-cut tombs), Tombe dei Giganti (Giant's Tombs), and sacred wells. These monuments, along with the Nuragic complexes, continue to provide researchers with insights and unanswered questions regarding the religious and funerary practices of ancient civilizations that inhabited the island.
