Brief description

Today we face an easy stage that leaves us time to visit the ancient churches of the area. The medieval church of Santa Maria di Monserrato, the Byzantine church Santa Maria di Palmas and the early Christian basilica of Sant’Antioco, all representing the religious heritage that characterizes our itinerary. We will still want to keep a slow pace and admire the naturalistic patrimony of the bird life present in the salt pans of Sant’Antioco: an itinerary full of charm and beauty that takes us back to the south-western coast of Sardinia.
