When to go to Cagliari?
Cagliari stacks up on a limestone hill, the Castello quarter all bastions, narrow lanes and sudden views over a turquoise gulf. Poetto beach runs in one long straight line just outside the centre, and the Molentargius lagoon behind it holds flamingos on the very edge of the city. Down the coast, the Roman mosaics of Nora lie half in the sea.
