7. Sardinia - Cagliari


We spent 3 days at a B&B in the busy Marina district of Cagliari, which is Sardinia's largest city and the capital.  The area we stayed in is close to the seafront, with narrow lanes with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. 


The stairway to Bastione Saint Remy, a large piazza in the medieval Castello district, which is on a ridge overlooking the modern city:
