Close to the ancient and historic city of Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, are the delightful villages of Pula<\/strong> and Chia<\/strong>, each of which offers a glimpse of Sardinia unlike any other.<\/p>\n

The glorious landscape of the Southern region is as beautiful as any, yet it is the wonderful coastal stretches occupied by these two very pretty towns that make them popular with tourists.<\/p>\n

Lively by night and enticing by day, Pula and Chia can each lay claim to interesting cultural backgrounds, and are among the most attractive towns on the island.<\/p>\n

Pula \u2013 Charming Slice of Sardinian Life<\/h2>\n

The appeal of the sea can never be underestimated, and the beautiful beaches of Pula<\/strong> are always popular with tourists thanks to the fine weather and excellent location.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the charming traditional central square in the village is the place to be in the evenings, for it abounds with wonderful cafes serving local produce or, for those with a taste for fine dining, some superb restaurants.<\/p>\n

The bars in the square welcome locals and tourists with a friendly flourish, and late night shopping is the norm in warm summer evenings. This really is a slice of Sardinian life at its very best, and will appeal to families and couples alike.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the best way to get around the region is to rent a car in Cagliari airport<\/a> but there are facilities to do so in Pula itself where you can pick up or drop off your vehicle.<\/p>\n

The roads around the region are wonderful to drive, and this method of travel will allow you to explore the landscape, including the stunning ancient Roman town of Nora<\/strong>, complete with its well preserved temples and mosaic floors, and the city of Cagliari itself which is a short drive away.<\/p>\n

With plentiful accommodation available, and easy access by car from Cagliari Airport, Pula makes for a fine holiday destination.<\/p>\n

Chia beach in Sardinia<\/h3>\n

A short drive by hire car from Pula \u2013 or from Cagliari \u2013 is Chia<\/strong>, and the journey itself could not be more beautiful. Quiet roads lead you towards the famous “Costa del Sud”, the Southern Coast of Sardinia, with its stunning pale sands, quaint islands and miles of unspoilt beaches.<\/p>\n

This is where water-sports enthusiasts gather to relish in the perfect weather and waves for surfing, windsurfing and kite surfing<\/strong>. Indeed, the beach is home to the classic Easter windsurfing competition each year, a colourful pageant that attracts many tourists.<\/p>\n
