Sardinia
Sun, Sand & Surf
Famous for its fjord-like coves, crystalline waters and windswept sand dunes, surfers, sail-
ors and divers flock to the Costa Smeralda, Porto Pollo, the Golfo di Orosei and the Ar-
chipelago di La Maddalena.
Moving Mountains
Sardinia's awe-inspiring peaks provide a playground for hikers and free climbers. Climbs
afford stunning sea views, while Supramonte hikes traverse old shepherd routes.
Prehistoric Rocks
In a landscape of grey granite rocks, Sardinia is littered with strange prehistoric dolmens,
menhirs, wells and
nuraghi
(mysterious stone towers built by the island's first inhabitants).
