SS125 Sardinia.
Just ride.
Four nights in Ogliastra. Three strong day rides. No hotel hopping and no overloaded travel guide.
One base. A different ride every day.
The SS125 and the mountain roads of Ogliastra work naturally as day rides, from the Supramonte and Genna Silana to the Tacchi and the east coast.
The focus is the riding-rich east of Sardinia around Ogliastra and the old Orientale Sarda. The Baunei–Dorgali section via Genna Silana is one of the island's best-known motorcycle roads.
Ogliastra as your base
Arrive, check in and park the bike. No compulsory stage on the first evening.

A flexible final riding day with mountains, views and time for a relaxed evening.
