What you can expect

Discover life in the Blue Zone of eastern Sardinia, between Ogliastra and Barbagia, known as the area with the highest concentration of centenarians.
An active role in the community and family, a traditional and healthy lifestyle, genuine local foods, physical activity and walking, excellent genetic history and environment: these are the main ingredients of this experience inside the most authentic Sardinia. You will be immersed for three days in the surrounding culture and nature, with extraordinary daily experiences that will create lasting memories of your trip to Sardinia, including gastronomic and cultural tours, natural gems and direct contact with local people.
Learn the secrets to a long and healthy life!

Day 1
After meeting with your guide, you will head to central and eastern Sardinia. Your first stop will be in upper Ogliastra where a picnic with local products will await you in front of the Bau Mela waterfall, a masterpiece of nature. The afternoon will continue to Villagrande Strisaili, the town of longevity and the world's highest concentration of centenarian people. It will be great to take a walk and share some time with the locals over an Italian coffee. Later it will be time to discover the nuragic civilisation with a tour of the Bosco Seleni archaeological area, one of the most impressive nuragic complexes in the area. Transfer and check-in at the accommodation facility, with B&B formula, near the coast.

Day 2
After a breakfast with local cuisine, it's time to delve into the Blue Zone: You'll visit one of the most impressive caves in Europe, Marmuri Cave, where the beauty of the stalagmites and festoons hanging from the walls is stunning, as is the majesty of its spaces. Afterwards, a local family will be waiting for you for an exciting cooking experience deeply connected to the traditions of the community, with a rich tasting after the class. In the afternoon, you will move to the mountains where you will admire some of Ogliastra's most beautiful viewpoints between Ulassai and Gairo Vecchia, and before returning to the B&B you will have an exciting wine tasting in a winery, right where the Cannonau red wine is born.

Day 3
After breakfast and check-out, you will climb into Supramonte and head to a family of shepherds to learn the art of cheese making and have lunch surrounded by nature with breathtaking views. After lunch, you will visit one of the most striking and well-preserved monuments of prehistoric Sardinia: S'Ena e Thomes. A scenic drive to the mountainous area of Barbagia will introduce you to Dorgali and stroll through its quaint streets, and a workshop of filigree jewellery, pottery and carpet weaving will allow you to discover the village's craft vocation. Finally, you will return to the Olbia area before dinnertime.

Stay
The stay will be at a B&B facility available according to the period.

Lunches
Lunches include typical Sardinian products such as cold cuts and cheeses, homemade pasta and vegetables.
