Whether it is your first time to
Italy or a repeat visit, a week long vacation organized by Island
Spirit Adventures is sure to create for you an experience of a
lifetime. After one week on the island of Sardinia you will have
met some of the most spirited Italians, eaten the finest and freshest
foods and felt the soothing waters and beaches of an ancient island
that smells of wisdom and mysticism.
A week long vacation with Island
Spirit Adventures involves four days of hiking to some of Sardinia’s
most untouched places, a visit to one of Europe’s most well
renowned caves, an afternoon cooking class with Sardinian women
and an opportunity to witness the craftsmanship of cheese and
wine making during our tour of the local winery.
The four-day trekking adventure
will take you through the magnificent Ogliastra region, hiking
through rugged limestone mountains and lush Mediterranean vegetation
down to the most pristine and secluded beaches found on this island.
Each day of hiking ends with a hearty Sardinian meal prepared
by the local people of Ogliastra. Whether it be a fresh fish and
seafood meal caught that morning or a traditional Sardinian barbecue,
to partake in a Sardinian meal is a moment in time that will remain
a memory for a lifetime. After taking a bite of lamb that has
been browning over myrtle embers for eight hours, slicing into
a tomato slowly matured under the Sardinian sun or alternating
bites of pecorino cheese with sips of hearty Cannonou red wine,
you understand quickly just how much the natives value genuine
food and the joy in sharing it with others.
After four days and three nights
exploring Sardinia's enchanting wilderness, we return to the Hotel
Mediterraneo and relax beachside in the quaint coastal village
of Santa Maria Navaresse. The next three days you can take pleasure
in the perfect blend of Sardinian life. Enjoy free time to explore
and experience the island as you please and to partake in a cooking
class that involves preparing and eating lunch with Sardinian
women. The meal includes “culurgionis,” the most sought
out pasta of Ogliastra, suckling pig, fresh garden vegetables
and fruit, sebadas for desert followed by an espresso and a sip
of mirto, a Sardinian after dinner drink. Other activities include
visits to the local winery and La Grotta Su Marmuri, the islands
largest and most mysterious cave.
Island Spirit Adventures offers
the complete Sardinian experience. Come to know the true spirit
of the island through its landscapes, the sea, and most importantly
its people, their energy and rhythm.
