the sea! Sardinia is the largest island of the Mediterranean, and it is
one of the most popular bathing islands of Europe. However, Sardinia is
also mountainous. There are endless opportunities for hikers and

contact with human feet - climbers have the choice between granite,
lime, or basalt, in the inland of the island or on the coast, directly
above water! There are numerous ports, marinas and sheltered natural
anchorages along the coastline and out around the La Maddalena islands
and you can explore the beautiful beaches along the south east coast.
