We visited this site just before Easter 2012 .There weren't many people about, and our helpful guide only had about 8 people to address. The site is quite extensive and the mosaics are well preserved. It isn't hard to imagine ancient people living their lives close to the sea! Although we bought a guide book, which is partly in English,... More

This is a great site, and I'd definitely put it on the list for any visit to South Sardinia. The setting is gorgeous with the sea on both sides and the baths, theatre and mosaics are stunning. There's a definite need for nice, detailed descriptions of each of the different sights though... go without a guide and you have absolutely... More

We were delighted that we chose to leave Cagliari for a day trip to Nora, even though without a car it required two buses. Pula is a pleasant town with a helpful English-speaking tourist office staffperson. We had a nice lunch on a terrace after we missed the bus to Nora, but took a short taxi ride to see the... More

We took the bus to Pula from the bus station in Cagliari, which takes about 50 minutes. There is a shuttle bus to Nora or you can walk, we took the shuttle bus, walking would probably take at least 30minutes. We found the tourist info in Pula to get the timetable for the shuttle bus, it leaves outside the Church... More

We went to Nora as an outing from our Hotel in Santa Margherita di Pula taking a taxi there and back (cheaper than the extortionate prices the tour operator was charging!). Our two young children (8 and 10) really enjoyed it. Admission prices are fair (from memory approx EUR 5 for adults and about half that for the children). You... More

Being archaeologists (prehistory and classical), Nora, as a Phoenician, Punic and Roman town with harbours on each edge of the town, was high on our to-do-list. My spouce had been here several years ago with a group of students doing research in another part of Sardinia. They then could wander around, see parts that were still being excavated. Nowadays: no... More
