A continent in miniature. Sardinia certainly is as diverse as countries ten times its size, but crystallised into an island as old as time. An island brushed by sea breezes, herb-scented mountains and unhurried Sards, always ready to show their generous and warm hospitality to new visitors.Very few places are as magnificently unspoilt and undiscovered as this enormous island; the second largest in the Mediterranean, with a history dating back 5,000 years. This is a land that still remains largely untouched by mass tourism, a land where you can still escape to the interior, explore mysterious ruins, or ride narrow gauge trains into the mountains..Although part of Italy for more than a century, Sardinia retains its ancient, unique culture and language.The coastline is one of endless variety: secluded rocky coves, soft, white sandy beaches, lonely wild beaches and towering cliffs. Hundreds of miles of beautiful scenery await you.Inland, Sardinia is mountainous and rugged and boasts countless archaeological sites, the most enigmatic of which are the 7,000 prehistoric nuraghi – massive stone structures built entirely without mortar. Then there are the many fascinating Roman and Phoenician remains, and the enchanting Romanesque churches, scattered throughout the countryside.For most visitors however, the main attraction is almost guaranteed sunshine, amazingly coloured seas and beautiful beaches. Sardinia is perfect for a relaxing beach holiday, with friendly and welcoming people and delicious food.
