Sardinia is a region renowned for the crystalline sea and is also the second largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily: in short, there is plenty of choosing among beautiful destinations on the coast, even if tourists in general Opto for Costa Smeralda, Maddalena, Alghero and surroundings.
We suggest this spectacular alternative trip:
- Trekking in Capo Ferrato .
For the rest .. . Read below.
We start the itinerary from the north-west corner of Sardinia, where they are located Porto Torres, Stintino and Alghero . Porto Torres is the point of arrival of ferries, Stintino a beautiful resort of the sea, while Alghero stands out for the Catalan origins and and for the historic center, to be seen also because surrounded by ancient walls. Alghero Bay and its beaches are closed to the west by the imposing cliffs of Capo Caccia , where the spectacular cave of Neptune opens up, absolutely to visit (and reachable by sea than with a path).
From Alghero, traveling to the south of Sardinia, continue along a wild stretch of coast, where to make stops, which reaches the picturesque village of Bosa . To the south of Bosa the coast becomes flatter and in a few kilometers you arrive at the peninsula of the Sinis with the fascinating archaeological ruins of Tharros , of Fenician and Roman origins. After Oristano and Arborea the tourist is in the grandiose green coast , with beautiful beaches, cliffs and sublime landscapes, a loved area so much from surfers and special for its gigantic sand dunes.
The south-western corner of Sardinia is instead visited by tourists especially for the island of San Pietro , where the city's characteristic of Genoese origins of Carloforte (together with , I miss you, beaches and coastal views to see).
On the southern tip of Sardinia there is Chia , with other spectacular sandy beaches. Continuing along the southern coast of Sardinia you will arrive at Cagliari , where it is worth taking a ride in the historic center on the hill to the Bastion of San Remy.
another stretch of coast to see is that by Villasimius , in the south-eastern corner of Sardinia, and passionate tourists of beaches can then flow into Costa Rey , before getting a nice walk with some tuffs in colette seclude a Cape Ferrato .
The long eastern coast of Sardinia is wild, at times also difficult to reach, at least up to Arbatax, north of which is the Gulf Of Orosei , which is instead a very popular destination, one of the fundamental destinations for a holiday in Sardinia. Here the sea with its spectacular cale and the cave of the ox marine is the protagonist, but not the only thing to see: from the canyon of to gorroppu in the supramonte to forests and archaeological areas, also the Interior offers important ideas.
Going up along the coast you will soon reach other places of sea as San Teodoro and then the spectacular coasts of Capo Coda Cavallo and the Tavolara Island , to visit by sea, perhaps renting a dinghy.
Thus we arrive in the most touristic area of Sardinia, the Costa Smeralda, which extends north of Olbia and that between a VIP town and a fantastic bay offers its Beaches and its most beautiful waters in the Archipelago of the Maddalena , with the omonime island and other masterpieces of nature such as guts and spargi.
continuing along the northern coast, westward after Santa Teresa di Gallura , returns to the point where this travel itinerary has begun along the dick of Sardinia, also passing through the beautiful town of Castelsardo . On a holiday in Sardinia, obviously, it also deserves to visit the interior, which is to eat the typical Porceddu or nuraghe as those in the Jara area of Gesturi, from the nuraghe of Barumini, right at the center of the region.
In short, the Sardegna offers many ideas for a holiday and many, of course, they will stay there several times to appreciate its long and beautiful coasts.
The list of destinations to see in Sardinia does enough to understand what is to do on this beautiful island: going to the beach! But not only, of course. In summer, there are a thousand ways to enjoy the sea, from the kayak to the sup to sail (the area of Bouches of Bonifacio is particularly suction cup and a paradise for windsurfing and kitesurf). Out of season, trekking and climbing are two perfect activities to do on vacation in Sardinia. This is the story of a beautiful Walk in Capo Ferrato but obviously there is much more. As for climbing, the Sardinian rocks are perfect!
Sardinia has long coasts, but also a strong tradition of pasteurizia and agriculture, as can be seen from food and wine ... which It offers everything you need to eat well during your vacation. Cheese and meat are typical delicacies. The PORCEDDU is weird, but there are many types of meat cooked on the spit, while next to the famous Sardinian pecorino there are a thousand types of cheeses, including so many soft and with the molds The bread Carrasau is very well accompanied to all this, and the first like culurgiones and malloreddus must be tested, they are also beautiful to see! All you drink cannonau and then myrtle and thread and ferru to digest (I doubt that actually works!).
Everyone goes to Sardinia in summer, but if obviously avoided the weeks Centers between July and August, your experience will certainly be better. In September the warmest sea water can definitely make you live some bathrooms than in June, when long days are beautiful!
In all cases, having a car or a motorcycle to move will be a great idea . (To rent a car here at the best prices for your travel itinerary Advice from Search and book at this link ).
