This Mediterranean gem boasts some of Europe's most pristine coastlines, with the Costa Smeralda's turquoise waters particularly famous among beach lovers.

The island's interior reveals charming villages and dramatic mountains ideal for hiking and exploration. Each summer, Sardinia comes alive with festivals, including the colourful Cavalcata Sarda in Sassari and religious celebrations like Sant'Efisio in Cagliari, celebrated since 1656. From the main port of Cagliari, travellers can easily connect to mainland Italy, with regular ferry services to Naples, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Palermo in Sicily, making it an excellent starting point for broader Mediterranean adventures.
