The autonomous region of Italy, which is located in the island zone of the country, is famous for its architectural monuments, wonderful weather, excellent conditions for a beach holiday and the production of pecorino - one of the Italian cheeses for the production of which sheep's milk is used as raw material.
The island is ideal for travelers. There is a lot to do and see. The inhabitants of Sardinia are not very densely populated - with an area of over 24 square kilometers, only about 000 million people live in the autonomous region. In fact, they are not crowded and there is room for everyone.
1850 km - that's how long the sandy riches of the local beaches stretch. The favorable climate contributes to a longer vacation and at different times of the year due to three hundred sunny days a year. You can swim for half a year (May - October). The climatic conditions formed in Sardinia even have a certain healing effect on the body.
The administrative center of the island is Cagliari. The huge city, occupying almost 1/5 of Sardinia, is grateful to the port for its prosperity, which it shares with other provinces. A third of all Sardinians live in the capital of the island. The vast territory also implies a rich list of architectural monuments, among which it is worth noting the necropolis of Tuvigeddu, the tower of San Pancrazio, the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the amphitheater and the majestic Leaning Wall of Pisa.
The south-east of Sardinia is most often visited by families on holiday. Here you can swim in a salt lake and watch pink flamingos up close. No less interesting in terms of tourism is the Catalan town of Alghero. For three centuries the island belonged to Spain and in Alghero, at first glance, little has changed since the 17th century, when the Spaniards left what is now an autonomous region of Italy. The city is cut through with real Catalan quarters, so it will be possible to temporarily move to another country.
The province of Oristano with the center of the same name is located in Western Sardinia. It is a real mecca for equestrian sports enthusiasts, which is why Oristano is often the location of international competitions. Such pleasure is also available to tourists. The city can offer many educational excursions that are combined with horse riding.
Fans of slightly deserted areas with beautiful nature will also find their corner on the island. In Stintino and Fertilia, travelers can enjoy a calm, measured rest, swinging on the cleanest sand of almost wild beaches. But you can admire the beauty of the sea in any part of the coast of the island. Diving in Sardinia is one of the most favorite activities of guests of the Italian Mediterranean.
