Italy Sardinia Postcard

Sardinia is Italy’s second-largest island, set in the heart of the western Mediterranean between the Italian mainland and Spain. Known for its rugged mountains and nearly 2,000 kilometers of coastline, it offers a striking mix of turquoise bays, dramatic cliffs, and ancient cultural sites. The island’s interior preserves a traditional way of life in pastoral villages, while its coast ranges from white-sand beaches in the south to the glamorous resorts of the Costa Smeralda in the northeast. Visitors can hike through wild landscapes like Gennargentu National Park, explore Bronze Age Nuragic stone towers, and enjoy rich Sardinian cuisine featuring pecorino cheese, roasted suckling pig, and fresh seafood. Crystal-clear waters make Sardinia a haven for sailing, diving, and beach hopping, while festivals celebrating music and folklore highlight the island’s unique blend of Italian and Mediterranean traditions.
