My family and I are really satisfied about this journey! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back! Lindsay Devlen via WhatsApp

FOCUS ON Magic winters Folk festivals, traditions going back thousands of years and the awe-inspiring rites of Easter Week: Sardinia is especially fascinating during the winter months. The whole island and Cagliari itself are full of exciting discoveries, leaving you with the desire to return and explore more of the city and the whole island.

We hope you have a great time and will help spread the word about Sardiniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sheer beauty in the off-peak season too

FOCUS ON The Viper’s Cave In the heart of the quarter of Sant’Avendrace stands the Viper’s Cave. This ancient tomb was sculpted in a cave in the 2nd century AD by Lucius Cassius, a noble Roman exiled to the island, for love of his wife. Cassius had it built to commemorate his wife Atilia Pomptilla. In memory of the great love which bound them, two entwined snakes stand watch over the portal. The cave is next to Tuvixeddu, the largest Phoenician necropolis in the Mediterranean basin.

Sardinian artisans have golden fingers: they work fabric, wood, iron, bone but also clay, cork, reeds, stone, gold, silver and coral FOCUS ON Nimble fingers Sardiniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft artists create amazingly beautiful items from hand-woven cloth, wood, iron, bone, but also clay, cork, reeds, stone, gold, silver and coral. To discover the secrets of filigree work, visit the small workshop in Via Eleonora Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arborea.

A pick of the best beaches

FOCUS ON The Pink Flamingo This much-loved and much photographed bird has chosen Cagliari for a nesting site. Over the years many colonies have set up home at the Santa Gilla Lagoon and the Molentargius Wetlands. Santa Gilla lies to the east of the city and includes several small salt pans still in operation. The best views of the lagoon can be had from the terrace of Santa Croce or Porta Cristina, in the Castello quarter: at sundown or on days with a balmy breeze, the sight is breath-taking.

This destination owes much of its well-deserved fame to its string of stunning beaches...

I will never forget about sardinian food!!!! Jamie Zinck via WhatsApp

chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipe Burrida Cagliaritana Ingredients (6 servings): 1.5 kg of dogfish (or, alternatively, smooth hound) 100 g of white onions 1 dl of extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 l of white wine vinegar 80 g of shelled walnuts 2 cloves of garlic A few bay leaves, salt and pepper Wash and remove skin from the dogfish, gut it and remove innards, but set aside the liver. Cut the fish into thin slices and dip in boiling salted water; when the fish changes colour, drain and leave to cool. Peel and chop the onions and brown gently in a pan, add the fish liver after chopping and simmer on a low flame. Then chop finely the nuts together with the garlic and add to the sauce. Continue cooking on a low flame for a few minutes, stirring continuously to ensure all ingredients blend well. Then add the vinegar, raise heat and cook for another few minutes. In a serving dish pour a layer of the sauce, add the slices of fish, decorate with the bay leaves, then cover with the remaining sauce. Cover the dish, leave to cool and then place in the refrigerator for 24 hrs before serving.

It is a wild, unspoilt and proud land, packed with tantalizing tastes, adventurous discoveries and warmed by a glittering sun reflecting on turquoise waters FOCUS ON Peppinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rock This is one of the most enchanting corners of Costa Rei. The beach takes its name from a huge rock out at sea, a few metres from the beach; the story goes that it was the favourite haunt of a fisherman by the name of Peppino. The sand is snowy white and slopes down gradually into the shallow sea, making it one of the safest beaches for families with kids.

FOCUS ON Spiaggia del Riso Surrounded by a natural amphitheatre of hills and mountains covered in lush Mediterranean shrubs, the Spiaggia del Riso takes its name from its rice-sized shiny granite quartz sand. While the sandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s composition has changed over time, the beach is as beautiful and attractive as ever.

Cagliari is a treasure trove of historic, cultural and natural attractions, on a par with the main Med ports traditionally included in cruise routes

FOCUS ON Home port Already a stopover for cruise ships, Cagliari is now set on becoming a Home Port. The city has all it takes: an international airport a few minutes from the port and a host of tourist attractions and services in town and all over the island.
