The second largest island of the Mediterranean managed to keep some of its natural, untouched beauty, which is more and more rare in modern Europe. Large herds of goat and sheep are grazing on the scarcely inhabited Campidoro plain. Here the archaic patoral culture still lives on. In the Giara di Gesturi National Park a stud of 1500 horses lives completely free.
There are almost 8 thousand 'nurages', ancient megalithic stone buildings built around 2000BC. The black diorite, polished by the sea and the wind and the grey granite rocks stand out of the blue sea. The island is covered with macchia, a fragrant bush, between them there is myrtle, thyme, rosemary and lavender. The landscape is full of olive trees, cork, almond trees and grape. The narrow alleys of the old towns are edged by Sardinian and Toscan style buildings. If we add to this the beautiful stalactite caves, the monuments of Cagliari, the wild coast of Costa Smeralda, and the magnificent beaches, we can say that Sardinia is the nature lovers' paradise and a place for an idyllic vacation.
