Our guide Guidi was lovely and was understanding when we got lost finding the parking and were a few minutes late. He was knowledgeable and very interesting!

Great event, the price is really a couple of € higher than at the reception, but everything was so easy with the reservation. Criticism goes only to the account of the toilet, because the kettle did not work and there was no paper.

Amazing place and very well led by the tour guide. Such a beautiful spot and even the drive to Porta Flavia was lovely

manom770

Interesting place, not easy to get to but worth a visit. It wasn't too long either which was ok as not too much to see inside. I found it really fascinating though looking at Porto Flavia from the outside, from the sea, beautiful!

ElenaBeverley

To be honest, I would rather spend my time walking around beautiful towns and villages or on the beautiful beaches. We deviated our trip to San Antioco by almost 2 hours, and really regret it! It’s not a mine, it’s just a transportation tunnel. The tour was for two language groups: English and Italian and you have to wait until first group is done to hear in the selected language. Apart from the view , which you can have just by getting up to the top , there is not much to see. I don’t know how do they get people to pay €10 for it. The tour was about 50 people . Unless you are a lover of such things, it’s a waste of time in Sardinia. I guess you would be better go on the boat trip and see it from outside ! It would be a better option !

It was a great tour and really interesting to learn of the history of the area. The guide was very informative

Actually I expected totally different experience, but it was about my low knowledge. So I got much smarter, saw very sophisticated mine and heard great stories about history. Worth doing for sure! Try to get early tour, as parking nearby may be tricky in later hours!

DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR!! Unfriendly and ignorant as it can get. Our friend without closed shoes did come back in time (now with closed shoes) for the 17:00 tour. They didn't let us participate anyway and only then told us we could have rented closed shoes. After that they ridiculed us as to why we are not speaking italian. Easly the most impudent, ignorant unfriendly "tourist"-personal (short black haired woman with glasses) I've ever encountered!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR!!

Porto Flavia è una gemma nascosta tra le scogliere spettacolari della costa occidentale della Sardegna. Questo antico sito minerario, situato nei pressi di Nebida, offre una straordinaria esperienza che mescola la storia industriale con la bellezza naturale della regione. L'ingresso a Porto Flavia è un viaggio attraverso il tempo. La vista panoramica delle scogliere e del Mar Mediterraneo è mozzafiato. La struttura stessa, integrata con maestria nella roccia, evoca un senso di avventura e mistero. Le gallerie della miniera, scavate nella roccia, sono un testimone eloquente dell'ingegnosità umana e della storia industriale della Sardegna. La guida esperta offre una narrazione coinvolgente sulla storia delle miniere e sulla creazione di Porto Flavia. Apprendere dei tempi passati in cui questa struttura serviva come punto chiave per l'estrazione mineraria aggiunge profondità all'esperienza complessiva. Tuttavia, una maggiore enfasi sulla vita quotidiana dei minatori avrebbe potuto arricchire ulteriormente questo aspetto. Porto Flavia è un capolavoro ingegneristico. La soluzione unica per trasportare il minerale direttamente dalle gallerie sospese al mare attraverso un sistema di trasporto su binario e navi è una dimostrazione sorprendente di creatività e abilità tecnica. La visita alle strutture sotterranee, ben illuminate e sicure, fornisce una comprensione tangibile dell'arduo lavoro che si svolgeva in quei giorni. L'accesso a Porto Flavia può essere impegnativo per chi ha difficoltà di mobilità, ma la struttura è gestita in modo efficiente per garantire la sicurezza dei visitatori. Le guide sono competenti e disponibili, assicurando un'esperienza educativa e coinvolgente. Alla fine della galleria si può ammirare lo scoglio di pan di zucchero. L'ingresso è di 10 euro per gli adulti e di 6,50 per i bambini. Vi consiglio di acquistare i biglietti online

Sito visitato in bassa stagione, in un giorno feriale e senza bisogno di prenotare. Costo del biglietto 10 euro. Il giro all'interno del porto è durato 1 ora. Temperatura all'interno intorno ai 15/16 gradi tutto l'anno. Guida preparata, esaustiva e capace di coinvolgere il visitatore. Possibilità di scattare foto. Alla fine del tour, possibilità di uscire per ammirare il panorama mozzafiato. La parte inferiore non era visitabile per via di alcuni lavori in corso e, a causa di una frana ad agosto, non erano percorribili le scale esterne che scendevano verso giù. Nonostante questo, il sito merita assolutamente una visita!
