About Sardinia holidays

Sardinia (Italian: Sardegna) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily). It is an autonomous region of Italy, and the nearest land masses are (anticlockwise from south) the Spanish Balearic Islands, Tunisia, Sicily, the Italian Penisula, the French island of Corsica. Sardinia covers 24,090 square kilometres and has a population of around 1.6 million inhabitants. The regional capital is Cagliari. Sardinia, with its quintessential Mediterranean beauty, is mainly loved for swimming, boating, windsurfing, hiking, climbing, camping or sunbathing on the beach in the blazing sunshine. The North and Northeast (from Stintino to Budoni) boast many beautiful beaches. The Eastern coast is also very beautiful: Cala Gonone, Arbatax, Muravera and Villasimius, to name a few. The deep South (Chia, Pula) is quickly growing as a major tourist attraction. The western coast has large beaches some kilometres long (Porto Pino, Marina di Gonnesa, Marina di Arbus). Of note is Piscinas (Marina di Arbus) with its 60 metre tall sand dunes. Finally, the Alghero area is renowned for its underwater caves and grottoes and attracts many scuba divers.
