Sardinia is located 200 km west of the coast of Italy and just 12 km south of Corsica. This island offers not only excellent beaches but also fascinating excursions: much of its territory is made up of nature reserves and archaeological sites. The island’s southern coast is renowned for its long sandy beaches, palm groves and pine forests, and calm, clear sea.
Entertainment and Attractions
Sardinia impresses with its unique landscapes, largely the work of nature, with only minor human interventions. Particularly attractive are the cliffs of Punta Testa in the north of the island, reminiscent of a remarkable sculpture garden.
This coastline is a wild corner full of unexpected and surprising places.
The crown jewel of Northern Sardinia is the 55-kilometer-long coastline, nicknamed the Costa Smeralda for the stunning colors of its waters. In the 1960s, Prince Aga Khan IV was so captivated by the beauty of this place that he decided to turn it into a resort for his inner circle. The center of the world on the Emerald Coast is the chic Porto Cervo, with its finest marinas in Europe, where the yachts of world celebrities are accustomed to mooring.
Looking north toward the “billionaires’ preserve,” you’ll see the La Maddalena archipelago, the entire area declared a national park. To understand why these islands are so famous, you need to walk the trails, savoring the scent of pine trees and admiring the beauty of the bays and pink cliffs sculpted by natural forces. Giuseppe Garibaldi spent 26 years of his life on one of the archipelago’s islands, Caprera. His house is now a museum open to the public. Sardinia’s geographical, cultural, and historical center lies in the inland mountainous region of Barbagia, with its picturesque towns and villages once renowned as bandit hideouts. One of the most famous villages is Orgosolo, whose inhabitants were engaged in banditry and whose name has become synonymous with the bandit life. Today, it attracts tourists with its hospitality and beautiful frescoes on the walls of its houses, turning it into a true tourist attraction.
Besides its rugged landscapes and picturesque villages, Barbagia attracts attention with its unique canyons, such as the Gorropu Gorge, one of the deepest in Europe. It is a true natural wonder with waterfalls, small lakes with emerald water, and steep white cliffs rising to heights of up to 500 meters.
