Sardinia
Why Go?
As DH Lawrence so succinctly put it: 'Sardinia is different.' Indeed, where else but on this
365-village, four-million-sheep island could you travel from shimmering bays to alpine
forests, granite peaks to cathedral-like grottoes, rolling vineyards to one-time bandit towns
- all in the space of a day? Sardinia baffles with prehistory at 7000 nuraghic sites, dazzles
with its kaleidoscopic blue waters and whets appetites with island treats like spit-roasted
suckling pig, sea urchins and crumbly pecorino.
Over millennia islanders have carved out a unique identity, cuisine, culture and lan-
guage, leaving the forces of nature to work their magic on the landscape. And whether
you're swooning over the megayachts in the Costa Smeralda's fjord-like bays or feasting
on spit-roasted suckling pig at a rustic agriturismo (farm stay accommodation) , you can't
help but appreciate this island's love of the good life. Earthy and glamorous, adventurous
and blissfully relaxed, Sardinia delights in being that little bit different.
When to Go
Feb Pre-Lenten shenanigans, from beastly mamuthones in Mamoiada to medieval jousting
at Sa Sartiglia.
