Between Crystal Waters and Cool Discoveries in Cagliari

Cagliari reveals its most charming side in summer, where the sun meets the sea—
and the island’s secrets offer cool surprises.

“During the warmer months, many of our guests ask to visit seaside destinations and the city’s Botanical Garden to escape the heat,” shares Easy Holiday Sardinia, a tourism service company. “They’re often already familiar with Poetto Beach but also ask about places like Chia and Villasimius—they know exactly what to look for.”

For cruise passengers arriving at Cagliari Cruise Port, summer offers an ideal balance between coastal relaxation and cultural discovery. Beyond the well-known beaches, visitors can explore the hidden side of Cagliari—from underground tours to ancient caves and breathtaking mining trails perched above the sea, all just an hour from the port.

“Very popular are also sea-based excursions—such as electric boats, dinghies, and sailing trips that let guests experience the coastline close up from the water,” they add.

Summer makes Cagliari unforgettable—not only for the beauty of its beaches, but also for the refreshing escapes tucked into nature. “Places like Porto Flavia stay around 20°C year-round,” they note, “and offer a truly unique kind of summer break.” Cagliari invites visitors to leave with memories that last long after sailing away.
