Sardinia

Sardinia is the Mediterranean Sea's second largest island, behind Sicily, and one of Italy's 20 regions. It is situated to the west of the Italian Peninsula, to the north of Tunisia, and to the south of the French island of Corsica. It is one of five Italian regions that have internal autonomy granted by a special statute. It is divided into four provinces and one city. Cagliari is the capital and largest city of the Sardinian region. Sardinia has been metaphorically described as a micro-continent due to the diversity of its habitats, which include mountains, woods, plains, stretches of virtually deserted terrain, streams, rocky shores, and long sandy beaches.

In the contemporary period, numerous tourists and writers have hailed the grandeur of its long-untouched landscapes, which contain relics of the Nuragic culture. Sardinia, the Mediterranean's second-largest island after Sicily, offers a delightful mix of water, sand, and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone structures) dot the terrain, indicating that humans have been enjoying the pleasant temperature here for millennia. Sardinia has something for everyone, from the luxurious Costa Smeralda in the north to historic Alghero in the northwest to the bustling city of Cagliari in the south, with many lovely towns and pristine sandy beaches in between.
