The second largest island in the Med, Sardinia is a favourite holiday destination, not only for the beauty of the coastal resorts but also for the fascinating historical ruins, the beautiful mountainous scenery and the warmth of its people. Long stretches of rocky coastline dotted with secluded bays are interrupted by long white sandy beaches with crystalline waters. The playground of the rich and famous, the Emerald Coast is famous the world over for the luxury hotels, the lively nightlife and the beauty of the surroundings. However there is more to Sardinia than just sea and sun, the luscious green sceneries of the mountainous inner parts are a favourite among nature lovers who can follow the foot trails into unspoilt territory where it is still possible to admire rare species of fauna. The mild climate make it a popular destination all year round with peaks during the summer season when the island populates with beachgoers making July and August rather crowded months. Sardinia is at its best in June and September when the weather is warm enough, but not unbearable and the atmosphere is lively but not exceedingly touristy. Sardinia is a fantastic place for water sports such as windsurfing, kite-surfing, surfing, snorkelling and sub-aqua diving as well as other outdoor activities such as bird-watching, golf, trekking, mountain-biking and rock-climbing. If you like to visit more than just one area, it would be useful to hire a car as public transport is not reliable, the island is in fact larger than people may think and it is not possible to cover all of it in just one week, but with careful planning you can see all the places that interest you.
