Island of SARDINIA : Overview

Sardinia is a dream island, situated in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea.  The intense feelings its natural beauty arouses in the visitor cannot be erased. With its  coasts extending for 1800 km, Sardinia represents one of the most coveted destinations for sea life lovers and water sports fans, and its ancient, off-coast villages and towns, proudly exhibit their traditional way of life, and offer their ancient monuments, their lovely local handicraft production and their exquisite foods and wines.
The crystal-clear sea waters of this fascinating island, and its  long immaculate  sandy beaches, alternating with inlets, are just enchanting.   Impressive black Lava rocks,  shaped by the wind along the centuries, interrupt here and there the breath-taking coast, and strongly contrast with the candour of the white sand.  What’s more, here you CAN find SILENCE.   The silence of secluded, unspoilt beaches extending for kilometres.  David Herbert Lawrence wrote “ Sardinia does not resemble any other place “, and the title of Writer Marcello Serra’s novel “Sardinia, almost a continent” is evocative and self explanatory. It is  also unique, because it is the end result of a sequence of foreign dominations,  and  the outcome of their interaction with  the local culture and traditions.

Places to be seen:
With its 1800 km long coasts, the Island has less than 300 kilometres of urbanised, modern  tracts. Human intervention here has been very delicate,  almost imperceptible. The Island jealously and tenaciously abides by its millenary  traditions, and peacefully co-exists with  the comfort and luxury of modern times. It is possible, therefore,  to avoid the jet set areas, get off  the beaten tracks and discover all the shades of  this  “blue palette” embracing the Island.  One can explore Gallura , the archipelago of La Maddalena,  Capo Testa, Santa Teresa, Emerald Coast, Golfo Aranci, Olbia, Tavolara, Molara, Cagliari, Stintino, Capo Caccia and the unparalleled colours of the sea at La Pelosa Beach.   One can also enjoy an excursion to Asinara, the forbidden Island, and spend a day at  the virgin beaches of San Teodoro and Budoni.  The list of places which MUST be seen is endless: Siniscola, Orosei, Cala Gnoe, Baunei (Ogliastra), where at the very edge of the sea, grows one of the last coastal forests in Europe. The Island is mainly mountainous in the centre, and there are 4 large gulfs along the coastline: The Gulfs of Cagliari, Oristano, Orosei and Asinara.  Some of Sardinia’s most enchanting cliffs are between Nevida and Masua (Cagliari),  on the “Griffons Coast”, between Bosa (Nuoro) and Alghero(SS) and in the Orosei Gulf.  Sand Dunes, which date back to one million years, are truly fascinating.  Above all, when in the Alghero area, the wonderful view and the sunset over the Gulf of Porto Conte, and the Caves of Neptune with their stalactites and stalagmites  are not to be missed.

But Sardinia is not only a jewel of natural beauty, it also offers its NURAGHI and its ROMANESQUE CHURCHES,  the archaeological sites of ancient Punic-Roman Cities,  the Necropolis of Santu Pedru  and of Anghelo Ruiu.  The ramparts that surround ancient towns, the tower of Esperò Reial and the Fortress of Magdalena, the Cathedral of Santa Maria and the church and cloister of St. Francesco, all  well worth  the time you will dedicate to them. The Phoenician ruins, the Castles of Montiferru, of Eleonora d’Arborea, of Acquafredda, of Serravalle and of Malaspina , are other places not to be missed.  And, when in the Alghero area, do not miss the wonderful view and the sunset over the Gulf of Porto Conte, and the Caves of Neptune with their stalactites and stalagmites.

In very few other places  it  is possible to experience such  strong sensations and feelings  which the superb nature of Sardinia arouses in every visitor. No wonder the international jet set is at home in Sardinia: This fascinating and mysterious land, with its crown of little islands of varying size, and its innumerable, emerald-green lagoons along its coasts, attracts international VIPs on board  their billion dollars yachts.

The Island’s climate is just right at every season:  Its clear summer  months  extend from May to September, and Spring and Autumn seduce you with their nicely warm weather  after the crowded peak summer months are over.

Sporting activities and entertainment:
Besides Diving (diving centres are located in Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano and Sassari) and Golf (Molas Golf Club, is an  18 hole golf course), one can go Mountain biking, sailing, fishing, swimming, snorkelling, surfing,   trekking,  and much more. For night life lovers, there are plenty of Caffè pubs, night clubs and discotheques in all  main coastal cities.

Truly, Sardinia can easily compete with the most beautiful tropical coasts on earth. This Island is a “world” of its own, one of a kind.
