When you fancy going out for the day, the small town of Villasimius is just 6km away. Due to its essential, strategic setting, this town has been settled for thousands of years. Over the years, Villasimius has been attacked and conquered countless times, even by pirates! The area sustained itself historically through granite mining and agriculture, and though the streets are now filled with holidaymakers, there is still a feel of this rural heritage. The centre of Villasimius is a maze of colourful buildings filled with shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. If you want to sample some of the local seafood, why not find a charming restaurant with views over the coast? As well as its lively centre, Villasimius is known for its incredible beaches, which are said to be some of Sardinia's finest. Spiaggia di Porto Giunco is one of the most beautiful; with powdery white sand and warm turquoise water, it resembles a Caribbean bay and is an idyllic spot to spend the day sunbathing or snorkelling. The whole coast is littered with such beaches for you to explore, and you can visit the nearby Stagno di Notteri, a protected area with a lake. This stunning lake is home to plenty of birds and marine life, including pink flamingos, which flock here. If you would like to peruse a wider selection of shops and discover more historic attractions, then you should drive 48km to Cagliari, the capital of the island and was the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia for five hundred years. If you are searching for winding streets, ancient buildings and amazing views over the area, start exploring Castello, the city's old town. Most of the architecture in the old town hails from the 13th century onwards when the nobles and ruling classes began to move into the area as thick walls defended it. Cagliari Cathedral, the old gate of Porta Cristina and a 14th - century palace called the Palazzo Vice Regio are some highlights here. There are also plenty of museums to learn more about the area's history, such as the brilliant archaeological museum, the cathedral museum, a museum for the former Jewish ghetto and even a tile museum! On top of having an incredible old town, Cagliari is also packed with shops, cafes and restaurants and is lined with gorgeous beaches. Stay until evening falls, and you can have a drink or two in some of the trendy bars on the seafront.
