Sardinia is not only sea: 7 ideas among excursions, traditions and relaxation

Some of its most beautiful beaches have made it famous among all vacationers looking for a wonderful sea in dream places. But be careful not to make a serious mistake: Sardinia is not just sea. This island is large, ancient, varied. It has much, much more to offer to all its visitors.

Visitors just like you. And just for you we thought of these seven ideas of taste, traditions and excursions.

Ogliastra

It is where the traditions of Sardinia survive. Arbatax is the main inhabited center of this area. We recommend the Ogliastra if you like excursions in nature (such as the forests of Bingionniga and Montarbu) and towards picturesque towns (such as Bari Sardo, Jerzu, Ussassai).

Gennargentu

Still on the subject of hiking boots, excursions on the Gennargentu are a must for all the enthusiasts. This is the mountain massif that is located in the central-eastern part of the island, also in this case easily accessible starting from Arbatax.

Nuraghi

One of the most suggestive and fascinating testimonies of Sardinia. The whole island is dotted with buildings erected by this ancient civilization. In particular, if you really want to know the nuragic civilization, you have to know that some of the most beautiful nuraghi in Sardinia are located in the surroundings of Olbia and Porto Torres.

Cannonau

Why not combining business with pleasure? This wine is one of the most typical products of Sardinia, famous throughout Italy and beyond. Jerzu, Tortolì, Oliena and Mamoiada are the stages of the Cannonau itinerary. And while you’re at it, while drinking some excellent wine you will see four spectacular areas of Sardinia.

Thermal baths

Do you need some healthy relaxation? To spend a few days lulled by the best wellness treatments? Choose your favorite among the best thermal baths in Sardinia: Sardara, Fordongianus, Benetutti and Casteldoria. Upon returning, you will feel refreshed in spirit and body.

Skiing

I recommend almost purely winter but if you are looking for an idea for a skiing holiday, well, you have found it: in Sardinia you can ski, to be precise on the snows of the Gennargentu.

Sport

Finally (but surely you have already noticed), Sardinia is a paradise for sports enthusiasts: hiking, snorkeling, diving and kitesurfing will certainly not disappoint you.

You have just seen it: Sardinia is not only sea but also much more. Do you want to discover the many aspects of this island? Then you just have to book the ferry to Sardinia.
