The best Holiday destinations Sardinia for holidays between the sea and the mountains

Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, has a coastline of nearly 2,000 km with beautiful coves and long sandy beaches. But also the hinterland and the mountainous interior is worth a visit, offering a varied landscape,ideal for activity holidays (hiking, trekking, biking and riding) and individual self drive tours, especially in spring, autumn and winter.

Sardinia offers a lot of interesting archeological sites, like the fascinating nuraghi, Bronze Age stone edifices, and Phoenician and Roman ruins. The island is also renowned for the extraordinary hospitality of its inhabitants, its rich cultural and historic attractions and tasteful cuisine and high-quality wines.

Surely the best known sea resorts in Sardinia are Villasimius, Costa Rei, Alghero, Stintino, Orosei, Emerald Coast, Santa Margherita di Pula, Chia and Teulada, but also less known destinations like the minor islands Sant’Antioco and San Pietro. The south-west with its abandoned mines and secluded beaches, is the ideal place to discover the remote but gorgeous wild nature of the Costa Verde.
