SARDINIA In the ancient times Sardinia was called Sandaliotis (name
of greek origins, beacuse of its shape resembling a footprint) and
is one of the most antique islands of the western Mediterrenean sea.
It was probably formed with the merging remaining fragments of an
archaic continent. This spectacular and unrivalled island presents a
variety of shapes. In fact Sardinia is a surprising blend of "diversities"
originated from its complex natural, historical and cultural
richness, as it has been, since the most ancient ages, a meeting
point for the various cultures of the populations which have landed
on and colonized its coasts. In the northern part of the island,
between Alghero and Olbia you'll find a rich coastline alternating
beaches and bays while the landscape is predominantly rocky. A
fantastic journey along the northern irregular coasts of Sardinia,
where nature has been wonderfully moulded by a civilization, the
roots of which stretch back at the time of the first inhabitants of
the Mediterranean. Facing Palau is the Archipelago of La Maddalena,
unquestionable natural attraction of extraordinary beauty, from
where, reaching its highest point, Guardia Vecchia, you'll be able
to enjoy a view of all the islands of the archipelago, sweeping all
the way to Corsica island.
