What to see in San Giovanni di Sinis, an ancient village on the peninsula of the same name, originally a fishing village, today a pretty seaside holiday resort for holidays.
Tourist information
San Giovanni di Sinis is located in Sardinia and is a fraction of Cabras located in the southern part of the Sinis peninsula.
The road that crosses the village first leads to Tharros, a town of ancient origin, and continuing south to Capo San Marco.
Originally a quiet fishing village, today a picturesque tourist resort.
What see
The main attractions are the long sandy beach, extended for over 2 km between the towns of Funtana Meiga and Tharros, and the church of San Giovanni di Sinis from the 300, one of the oldest in Sardinia.
This cult building, originally with a central domed plan, was enlarged around 1000 with the addition of two side aisles characterized by barrel vaults.
Cabras is a town belonging to the province of Oristano, bordered to the west by the Sea of Sardinia, to the north with the Province of Sassari, to the east with the Province of Nuoro, to the south with the Provinces of Medio Campidano and Cagliari.
The Sinis peninsula is located approximately in the middle of the western coast of Sardinia and precisely between the bay of Arenas in the north and the Gulf of Oristano in the south.
To the west of this peninsula is the island of Mal di Ventre, which is part of the Sardinian archipelago of the Mediterranean Sea and is about 7 kilometers from Sinis.
Despite being uninhabited, during the summer it is frequented by tourists who reach it with small private or rental boats.
For archeology enthusiasts, the town of Tharros, founded by the Phoenicians, located in the lower end of the Sinis peninsula and ending with the promontory of Capo San Marco is worth a visit.
