Tharros is an ancient Phoenician-Roman Port on the finger of land jutting out to sea forming a natural breakwater for the Bay of Oristano. The setting couldn't be more spectacular. Tharros is surrounded by white sand beaches; one called Is Arutas is said to be the cleanest in Italy.
Before the trip, I once planned to rent a bike and cycled all the way from Oristano to Tharros. When arrived, it's found that the streets were quite narrow and it seemed not safe to cycle by myself and thus I took the bus to Marina di Torre Grande, still a long way from Tharros.
At there, I had a big lunch near the beach. However, it was really windy. I was there on weekday and it was quite, I could not rent a bike there to travel around. I could only walked around and finally walked all the way back to Oristano.

Tharros Archeological Site, an open-air museum filled with the remains of a town founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BC on a nuragic village. One of the most interesting buildings is the tophet, a characteristic sanctuary of the Phoenician-Punic civilization, the thermal baths, the temple foundations and a section with houses and workshops. Not far from Tharros there is S. Salvatore, with the Hypogeum inside the Church of S. Salvatore, a pagan temple of nuragic origin linked to the cult of the water. Also noteworthy are the marvellous beaches of Is Autas, mainly made of small quartz grains, Mari Ermi and the spectacular cliffs of Su Tingiosu.
In the north-western part of the province, about 25 km from Oristano, there is Fordongianus, famous for the many prehistoric remains, as well as those from the Roman era (the aqueduct, the amphitheatre, a bridge and some buildings) such as the thermal baths. Just outside the village, there is the church of S. Lussorio, built in the 12th century on a Paleo-Christian hypogeum where, according to the traditions, S. Lussorio was buried after being martyred during the persecutions by the Roman emperor Diocleziano in 304.
