 Sardinia
(Eyewitness Travel Guides)
Tour Sardinia. Sardinia, the Mediterranean's second largest
island after Sicily, is equidistant from the Italian mainland
and the Turkish coast. Described by DH Lawrence as 'lost between
Europe and Africa and belonging to nowhere' it remains proud
of its independent spirit and boasts stunning Roman and Carthaginian
ruins, dramatic cliffs and numerous lagoons, together with gorgeous
beaches and rocky shores. Flamboyant festivals happen throughout
the year, so explore and experience to your heart's content
with the Eyewitness Travel Guide.
 The
Rough Guide to Sardinia (Rough Guide Travel Guides S.)
Tour Sardinia. All islands have a peculiar fascination, and
Sardinia is no exception. Lying a little less than 200km from
the Italian mainland and the same distance from the Tunisian
coast, it is, in the words of D.H. Lawrence, "lost between
Europe and Africa and belonging to nowhere." With its own
language and distinct customs, the island boasts a fiercely
independent character while remaining unmistakably and exuberantly
Italian. There is nothing particularly homogenous about the
island, however. As the Mediterranean's second biggest island
after Sicily - though, with 1.6 million people, less than a
third of Sicily's population, Sardinia encompasses a range of
diverse faces, from the stereotyped yachting elite of the fabled
Costa Smeralda to the simple shepherd's society of the mountainous
interior. The fact that you can pass from one to the other in
less than an hour is part of the island's appeal. Neither image
of course represents more than a tiny fraction of the true picture.
There are glorious beaches and rocky shores on every coast,
and also dramatic cliffs and numerous lagoons which account
for a rich diversity of wildlife, as do the forested mountains
and wild "macchia" that carpets the interior.
