Be captivated by Sardinia
Located halfway between Africa and Europe, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and fiercely proud of its unique identity, although Italian the island is very different to the rest of Italy.
The island was once a natural pit stop for Empires on their journey through the Mediterranean Sea. The Phoenicians, Vandals and Byzantines have all left their mark, with the town of Alghero being colonised by the Spanish Catalans for hundreds of years.
Another thing that really sets Sardinia apart is it has nearly 2000Km of coastline, white sands and turquoise waters, the Caribbean-like beaches are some of the best-looking in Europe. Its rugged landscape is dotted with thousands of nuraghi – mysterious Bronze Age stone ruins shaped like beehives. One of the largest and oldest nuraghi is Su Nuraxi in Barumini, dating to 1500 B.C.
We travel around the whole island at a leisurely pace so that you have time to visit the historic landmarks that abound the island, included is a well-planned excursion programme which along with an above average number of group meals ensures your tour is relaxed, well informed and you eat well throughout.
Campsites in Sardinia tend to be rustic, matching the local feel, with basic clean amenities. Pitches are generally not defined and at times, whilst hook-ups are available amperage can be limited.
