Cycle Sardinia - to get off the beaten track and experience the real Sardinia by bike...


After Huw (MD of Just Sardinia) cycled to and from Sardinia for charity, Just Sardinia are delighted to offer Leisure Cycling Tours so you too can experience the freedom of the roads, coast and countryside, warm sunshine and fantastic views that Sardinia has to offer and see more of this beautiful island. Cycling is environmentally friendly, good for fitness and enables you to get a real taste and feel of the island, to meet the local people, stay in family run accommodation and to get off the beaten track and experience the real Sardinia by bike...

Just Sardinia can offer a choice of 3 self guided tours and we can tailor make other itineraries to suit you, your family or your party’s requirements. A typical tour will include airport transfers, custom made tour bike, all equipment needed (excluding bicycle helmets which you can rent if you don’t bring your own), route guide and maps, accommodation in personally chosen hotels and agriturismi on a B&B basis and transfer of your luggage between your accommodations.
