Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and before Cyprus) and an autonomous region of Italy. The rugged landscape is dotted with thousands of nuraghi – Bronze Age stone ruins shaped like beehives which are still a mystery. One of the largest and oldest nuraghi is Su Nuraxi in Barumini, dating to 1500 B.C.

The Strait of Bonifacio is directly north of Sardinia and separates Sardinia from the French island of Corsica, hence if you have some time on your hands, you could circumnavigate it too!

We recommend May, June, September and October to travel - avoiding peak tourist time and the heat!
