Review:
About halfway between Italian mainland and Africa, Sardinia is a large island that is as much Italian as it is its own, ancient, rugged, magnificent place best described as “different.”
From vast mountain ranges to the dazzlingly white beaches, from mysterious 16th Century B.C. Nuragic constructions to posh villas of Porto Rotondo, from the lavish excesses of Costa Esmeralda to the rugged mountain villages with more sheep than people, Sardinia is full of contrasts that make it what it is.
It is loved by divers who spend hours underwater exploring shipwrecks off Cagliari’s coast, rock climbers who scale vertical cliffs of Cala Luna Bay, hikers who can spend a lifetime rambling through its dense oak forests and narrow coastal paths. You can also find wine and food that is just little bit different from what you might have already tasted in Italy, but it’s a perfect part your unique Sardinia experience.
