Conference Excursion - ProposedAccompanying persons
There is a minimum package for accompanying persons which includes: social dinner, welcome cocktail and
excursion. There will also be the possibility to join the lunches and to make additional excursions on the days
of the conference. On request it will also be possible to take advantage of a babysitting service, in spaces
close to those of the conference. Bosa45 km from Alghero there is a small village of ancient origins, one of the most picturesque in Italy. Crossed by the river Temo (the only navigable river in Sardinia) it is characterized by the typical colored houses in pastel tones, the wrought iron balconies, the narrow alleys of the historical center and it is dominated by a medieval castle. Neptune’s grottoThe Neptune’s Grotto are among the largest marine cavities in Italy, one of the most fascinating jewels of nature in the Mediterranean. Their formation dates back to about two million years ago: inside they can be admired rooms with amazing karstic conformations, a white sandy beach and a huge underground lake. The caves have a horizontal development of about four kilometers at the same level as the surface of the sea (the tourist itinerary extends for about 1 km). Distant 24 kilometers from Alghero, they are the pride of the marine protected area of Capo Caccia-Piana island, within the Porto Conte park. It can be reached by boat, leaving from the port of Alghero, enjoying the spectacle offered by the cliffs overlooking the sea. Porto Conte Park - Punta GiglioA few km. from Alghero, inside the Porto Conte Park, it is possible to take an excursion along the Punta Giglio path. The light, mainly naturalistic trekking route winds along a dirt path, under the shade of the pines, where the sea appears between rocks and coves. Here the maquis and the pine forest coexist well with numerous animals that have found a home there: the white snake, the turtle, the fox, the boar and several species of birds. Before reaching the promontory of Punta Giglio, the pine leaves room for agave, Phoenician juniper, helichrysum, limonium, rosemary, dwarf palm and mastic. Hidden by vegetation is the swallow-hole of Dasterru, a vertical well where the remains of the Neolithic man were found. Arrived at the top, where the natural silence is broken by the voices of the seagulls, among clear evidence of military archeology, the cliff, overlooking the sea, appears in all its beauty. Palmavera nuragic area
The fourth excursion proposed concerns a symbol of the ancient history of Sardinia: the nuraghi, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site since 1997. |
