Watch out for cracks in the road, some are large enough to fit a road bike wheel through.

Embark on the Tour of the Island of Sant'Antioco from San Giovanni Suergiu, a moderate road cycling adventure that takes you across 41.8 miles (67.3 km) with 1287 feet (392 metres) of elevation gain. This route, typically completed in about 2 hours and 47 minutes, offers a blend of well-paved roads and some unpaved sections that can challenge a racebike. You will experience stunning coastal views as you cycle along cliffsides, with the turquoise Mediterranean Sea always in sight, and pass through salt marshes and hills covered in Mediterranean vegetation.
As you plan your ride, be aware that while the route largely follows secondary roads with minimal traffic, dedicated cycle paths are rare. The topography includes rolling hills and undulating sections, featuring both short, steep climbs and longer, more gradual ascents. This trail is best suited for cyclists with good fitness, given its consistent undulations and varied terrain. You will find opportunities to explore charming villages and pass near historical sites like the Sulky Punic Necropolis and the Ferruccio Barrecca Archaeological Museum, adding a cultural dimension to your ride.
This tour is a unique way to combine sport with culture on Sant'Antioco, an island connected to the mainland by a narrow causeway. It stands out as a relatively undiscovered cycling destination, offering quiet roads and an authentic Sardinian atmosphere. The
