You'll be transported back in time at Nurgahe Santu Antine, an ancient archaeological site, and visit the ghost town of Rebeccu. Lunch at a Sardinian farm rounds off the excursion. Anna, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Sardinia is a longevity hotspot, one of only five “blue zones” in the world with the highest concentration of centenarians. Find out the secrets of the blue zone lifestyle from people who live here.'Your first stop is the Nuraghe Santu Antine, a megalithic monument that dates back to 1600 BC. Here, you'll explore the unique stone dwellings that are characteristic of Sardinia's ancient history and culture. Next, we'll explore the ghost town of Rebeccu in the heart of Logudoro. Once a thriving medieval village, it's now home only to the legends that have made it famous. One of the best known is the legend of the Black Bride, a ghostly figure that's said to haunt the castle in revenge for being forced to marry against her will.We'll then head for the Sas Abbilas farm, where you'll meet Antonello and his brother, who will share with you the secrets to a long and healthy life. You'll discover the produce and dishes that form the basis of the ‘centenarian diet', alongside a serene lifestyle. You'll get to sample some of the freshest local flavours, including cheese, salami, vegetables, typical Sardinian pasta and succulent roast suckling pig, all washed down with delicious local wine.
