Relax on blissful beaches and explore the rugged interior
With exquisite beaches lapped by crystal-clear waters, stunning scenery and its own unique identity – Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean. The people who call it home are fiercely proud of their idyllic slice of paradise.
With nearly 2,000km of coastline, Sardinia’s main draw is its beaches. Discover sparkling turquoise seas from the Golfo di Orosei in the east and Costa Verde in the west, to the southern Costa del Sud and Stintino in the north. The Emerald Coast is the playground of the rich and famous and undeniably beautiful, but Sardinia boasts everything from rocky coves and secluded bays to long stretches of white sand.
If you can drag yourself away from the coast, the island’s rugged interior is also well worth exploring. Hike through thick forests and mountain ranges and explore karst springs, valleys, caves and canyons. Sardinia’s three national parks – Gennargentu, Asinara and the Maddalena Archipelago – are ripe for exploring. Asinara is names after the resident albino donkeys and features a string of abandoned buildings, once part of the island’s notorious prison.
Sardinia’s central Mediterranean position means it was never left alone for long and the island is a tapestry of Roman and Carthanginian ruins, Genoan fortresses, Pisan churches and impressive Gothic and Spanish baroque architecture. DH Lawrence once likened the capital, Cagliari, to Jerusalem, saying it was ‘strange and rather wonderful, not a bit like Italy’. The pretty town of Alghero has a distinct Catalan flavour, its narrow lanes given both Italian and Catalan names.
Evidence of Sardinia’s ancient Nuraghic culture can be seen, with some 7,000 Nuraghi stone towers scattered across the landscape. With everything from fairy houses to tombs of the giants, they add to this island’s enigmatic and mysterious past.

When to visit
Italy is a year-round destination. Summers can get very hot and crowds do swell, so spring and early autumn are great times to visit. The sun is still shining and it’s much more pleasant to explore the cities once the intense summer heat has subsided.
