Access to starting point:
Famous beach Poetto is located 5 kilometers east from the center of the capital city of Sardinia, Cagliari and it is the easiest accessible by public transport.

Path description:
From beach Poetto we walk on streets Viale del Poetto, we turn left on Via Vergine di Lluc past square Piazza San Bartolomeo right on street Viale San Bartolomeo and left on Viale Sant'Elia (in doing so from the north side we circle hill on the south). We are soon again near the sea, to which we get very close to (there aren't any ascents for now), until ahead there leads only a macadam road which starts ascending. We leave the road at the information boards, from which the footpath turns into a slope towards the lighthouse and fortress. We follow the footpath to a ridge between the lighthouse and fortress. On the ridge with a wonderful view we turn towards the fortress, which we reach after 10 minutes of walking.
