Along this stretch of the southern coast, you\u2019ll find both famous beaches and many lesser-known coves that are equally captivating. One of its most striking features is the <strong>intensity of the colours<\/strong>: the vibrant green of the Mediterranean scrub and the deep cobalt blue of the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, you\u2019ll find various viewpoints where you can stop to <strong>admire the scenery<\/strong> and reconnect with nature. We suggest driving it again at sunset to enjoy the warm colours of the sun disappearing behind the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Old_Orientale_Sarda_125_%E2%80%93_Campu_Omu_section\"><\/span>The Old Orientale Sarda 125 \u2013 Campu Omu section<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A short distance from the Cagliari \u2013 Villasimius road lies the <strong>Old Orientale Sarda 125, Campu Omu section<\/strong>, specifically the stretch between San Gregorio and San Priamo. Over approximately 27 km of straights and sharp bends, you\u2019ll be surrounded by nuraghi, mountains, valleys, streams and dense vegetation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love winding roads, this route is perfect for you. Here you can also admire the \u201cCampu Omu\u201d canyon carved into the granite rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fontanamare_%E2%80%93_Nebida_%E2%80%93_Masua_panoramic_road\"><\/span>The Fontanamare \u2013 Nebida \u2013 Masua panoramic road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fontanamare<\/strong>, <strong>Nebida<\/strong> and <strong>Masua<\/strong> are three small coastal villages connected by about 8 km of road along the dramatic cliffs of south-western Sardinia. Once again, nature takes centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stop is the <strong>Fontanamare beach<\/strong>, followed by curves overlooking the sea. After passing Nebida, you\u2019ll find yourself facing a breathtaking sight: the dramatic view of the 100-metre-high <strong>Pan di Zucchero<\/strong> rock. You will then reach Masua, where you can stop at the beach for a view of the Pan di Zucchero sea stack.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pan-di-zucchero.jpg\" alt=\"Pan di Zucchero sea stack\" class=\"wp-image-2098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pan-di-zucchero.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pan-di-zucchero-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ellepirental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/pan-di-zucchero-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Alghero_%E2%80%93_Bosa_coastal_road\"><\/span>The Alghero \u2013 Bosa coastal road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Alghero \u2013 Bosa coastal road<\/strong> is a favourite among motorcyclists. A succession of curves and short straights overlooking the stunning north-western coastline. Once you reach the town of Bosa, you\u2019ll be welcomed by colourful houses lining the banks of the <strong>Temo River<\/strong>. This charming town has a delightful historic centre and is considered a must-see stop for those exploring the north of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing towards Alghero, the Capo Caccia promontory will follow you in the distance, creating gorgeous scenic views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Chia_%E2%80%93_Teulada_scenic_road\"><\/span>The Chia \u2013 Teulada scenic road<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the <strong>SP 71 Chia \u2013 Teulada scenic road<\/strong> on the island\u2019s south-western coast. Around 25 km of pure beauty with white-sand beaches, small coves, rolling roads, trails and paths running along the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend driving it between September and October when traffic is lighter than in peak summer months, so you can enjoy this slice of paradise with more tranquillity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to discover the most scenic roads in Sardinia? <strong>Book your rental car in Olbia<\/strong> and get ready for a dream vacation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sardinia is known for its paradise-like beach destinations, but the island has so much more to offer.
