Hi! I'm Melina, tiny apple in Italian, and I'd like to make you feel like a local on this beautiful island I have chosen as my home: Sardinia.
Wanna join me?

As a passionate Sardinia lover and specialist, I'm committed to sharing my passion with those who want to discover our territory and learn about our culture. Unfortunately, many people only know Sardinia for its crystal clear sea and long white sandy beaches. My mission is to show people from all over the world that Sardinia is much more than just "sea".

I look forward to organizing unforgettable tours for you that will make you truly experience this Mediterranean island: Kilometers of walks without contact with civilization; meetings with locals to discover the island's traditions, crafts, food and wine, music; millennia of archaeology and history. . . Of course, all tours can be adapted to your own needs, so don't worry if you don't find the right tour, I will design a tailor-made one for you!

I came to Sardinia in 2014. I grew up in the Spanish Pyrenees but my parents are German, so I have cultivated a passion for mountains and the study of languages since I was a child. I completed my training as a Trekking Guide in the Spanish Pyrenees with an Internship in Sardinia. The fusion of teaching and tourism has allowed me to settle here, where I work as an online and face-to-face language coach and as a multilingual tour guide.

I speak 6 languages and I am also a passionate traveller like you! I see travel like a transformation that can change someone's habits and life as a whole if you encounter the right people and are open to give and receive.
Protecting nature, collaborating with local communities and sharing unforgettable moments that become memories that stay for a lifetime are the key to my tours!

For the safety and security of our guests in the mountains, rest assured to know I am a member of AIGAE (Associazione Italiana Guide Ambientali Escursionistiche), the most important national association in the sector.

Experience a scenic coastal journey starting from Orosei! Your adventure begins with a leisurely walk to Cala Cartoe, where you'll join the Monte Irveri trail. After ascending a moderately steep path, you'll discover 'Cuile Sa Tintura', a restored 1940s shepherd's hut built upon ancient ruins. Here, while taking in panoramic views of the Gulf of Orosei, you'll learn fascinating tales of mountain shepherds who once lived in solitude for months at a time.
The return journey winds through a forest of ancient juniper trees, leading back to the serene shores of Cala Cartoe. During your lunch break (packed lunch), you can choose to explore the crystal waters through swimming and snorkeling (seasonal). The final stretch is a short hike back to the starting point.

Why don't you slow down and let yourself be transported into another dimension, where time stands still and you can enjoy the small things with no rush?

During the tour we'll dive into Sardinian history, back to the Bronce Age, when the Nuragic Civilization flourished on this island, drive around hundred-year-old cork oak forests and visit the famous VIP area of Costa Smeralda!
