Exploring Cagliari and the wonderful territory of Southern Sardinia will be a unique opportunity to enrich and make your experience at One World even more exciting.

To welcome you, after the first morning of lessons, Sofia will guide you on a tour to discover the millenary history of Castello, the oldest district of Cagliari, symbol and heart of the city.

In the following afternoons, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful and fascinating places on our island with Joseph.

Here are some of the extracurricular activities we offer:

  • Trip to Seulo – A small inland town located within the Blue Zone of Sardinia, one of the five areas in the world where people live longer and healthier lives. You can find a documentary on this topic on Netflix.

  • Visit to Nora – For millennia, Sardinia has been colonized by great civilizations, some of which settled in Nora, one of the oldest settlements on the island. Nora was a Phoenician, then Punic, and finally a Roman city. Today, you can still walk along its cobblestone streets and admire the ruins of its glorious past, including the remains of an amphitheater, a temple, and a thermal complex.

  • Trip to Barumini – The nuraghe are ancient megalithic buildings dating back to the second millennium BC, unique to Sardinia. Barumini hosts the famous Su Nuraxi nuragic complex, the most complete and best-preserved, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

  • Excursion to Porto Flavia – An extraordinary monument of mining industrial archaeology, unique in the world, which overlooks the southwest coast of Sardinia, offering visitors a breathtaking view of the splendid sea of Masua and the imposing Pan di Zucchero rock, the highest in the Mediterranean.

  • Visit to the Audarya winery – You can taste excellent Cannonau, Monica, and Vermentino wines, accompanied by typical local cheeses and cured meats, and enjoy a relaxing walk among the vineyards.

  • Cooking classes with Elvira – Your teacher will be happy to welcome you into her home, where you will learn to prepare typical Italian dishes, such as lasagna, and traditional Sardinian specialties, such as culurgiones and seadas. At the end of the evening, together with your gracious host, her husband Valentino, and your classmates, you will finally be able to savor the fruits of your labor, amidst pleasant conversations and good wine.

  • Tour of the Opera House – Cagliari hosts an important and prestigious opera house, where we will accompany you on a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour.

  • The fabulous beaches of Southern Sardinia – Thanks to our favorable and sunny climate for most of the year, you will have the chance to spend wonderful days on some of the best beaches on the southern coast: you can relax on warm golden sands, dive into the thousand shades of color of a crystal-clear sea, and let yourself be intoxicated by the intense scents of the Sardinian Mediterranean scrub.
