Spread out over seven hills, Cagliari has Phoenician-Punic origins and today still conserves important Roman ruins such as the Amphitheatre, the Viper's cave and Tigellio's villa.
Travelling from Cagliari along the eastern coastal road and you'll arrive at a small village of Villasimius, a very well known tourist destination that during the summer months.
But Villasimius is not only beaches and sea; it also has plenty of discos, night clubs and restaurants.
The area of Chia - situated on the south-western point of Sardinia - distinguishes itself for its interesting combination of nature and archaeology.
Chia is a seaside town, famous above-all for its beaches and magnificent dunes.
The ruins of the city of Bithia are the most important evidence of Phoenician-Punic presence in the area.
