RouteXpert Review It is a great ride with alternating coastal scenery and mountains. There are also some historical and archaeological sites to see along the way. Roman ruins and old castle ruins are located just north of Siniscola, near the starting point in Posada.
More ancient Nuraghe ruins are located about 4-5 kilometers south of Baunei (RP21) and a few more kilometers north of Baunei.
There are also a number of nice and interesting points along this route to stop a little longer
The ride starts in San Giovanni de Posada, in Posada we refuel the machines for a while, because there are few petrol stations along the route. In Posada you can immediately take the SS125 south but we first drive west on the SP24 and SP50, a nice winding road along the beautiful lake Lago di Torpé (RP3).
This is followed by a route with many (hairpin) bends, so this is a pleasure for every motorcyclist. Also enjoy the beautiful views along the way. Via Siniscola we drive to Santa Lucia, a small coastal town with the beautiful Torre di Santa Lucia (RP7), a beautiful tower along the promenade that overlooks the rocky coast. The tower is the symbol of the city, it is visible from the beach to the Caletta and is simply beautiful. An ideal quick stop for a photo and a short walk.
We drive south along the coast to Faro di Capo Comino (RP9), an active lighthouse located on the easternmost promontory of Sardinia, in the municipality of Siniscola, on the Tyrrhenian Sea. Built in 1903, the lighthouse was not activated by the Regia Marina until 1925 and consists of a 20-meter-high masonry quadrangular tower with balcony and lantern, attached to the white house of the white guard by the sea. We drive a bit further to Vecchio Faro di Capo Comino (RP10), a beautiful viewpoint to look over the island and the Tyrrhenian Sea. We turn around and drive back to the SS125.
We drive South and at RP11 you cross the river Cedrino, which has flowed for thousands of years in the heart of Supramonte, and rises from Funtana Bona near the town of Orgosolo. The old 'Caedris' is the longest and most important river in Sardinia, with its 80 kilometers it flows through the wild Supramonte and ends at the north side of the Gulf of Orosei. Kayak trips are also organized on this river.
We descend along the coast to Grotta di Ispinigoli (RP12), these are caves with gigantic mineral formations. A tour lasts about 50-60 min. Via the winding mountain pass Pass Littu (Bocca di Irghiria) we continue to the village of Cala Gonone on the coast where we pause for lunch. There is a large car park at the end of the promenade. Choose from one of the many restaurants and bars to enjoy lunch. You can also choose to take a break on the beautiful beach and take a refreshing dip.
After lunch we continue our drive through the beautiful National Park of the Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu (RP18), this is a beautiful nature reserve with beautiful winding roads. We drive back towards the coast to the town of Tancau, along this route it is a pleasure with beautiful views, there are a few small parking spaces (19 and 20) where you can stop to take a picture and enjoy the beautiful nature. On the way we drive through the town of Baunei (RP21) where you could stop to stretch your legs or continue to the coastal town of Tancau (RP23) to stop for a short break and have a drink.
Via Tortoli we drive to the end of the beautiful day to the end of Camping Villaggio Telis near the harbor in Arbataxi.
I rate this route with 5 ***** stars because of the beautiful roads, the many historical sites and beautiful views.

About this region
Sardinia ( sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa]) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily, and one of the 20 regions of Italy. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, north of Tunisia and immediately south of the French island of Corsica.
It is one of the five Italian regions with some degree of domestic autonomy being granted by a special statute. Its official name is bilingual in Italian and Sardinian: Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (English: "Autonomous Region of Sardinia"). It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city. The capital of the region of Sardinia — and its largest city — is Cagliari. Sardinia's indigenous language and Algherese Catalan are referred to by both the regional and national law as two of Italy's twelve linguistic minorities, albeit gravely endangered, while the regional law provides some measures to recognize and protect the aforementioned as well as the island's other minority languages (the Corsican-influenced Sassarese and Gallurese, and finally Tabarchino Ligurian).Due to the variety of Sardinia's ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, stretches of largely uninhabited territory, streams, rocky coasts, and long sandy beaches, Sardinia has been metaphorically described as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have extolled the beauty of its long-untouched landscapes, which retain vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.
