Situated in the middle of the
Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia with its 1.800 kilometres of coastline, is one of the most
popular destinations for people who love aquatic sports and seaside holidays, not only for its natural beauty and geographical position but also for its history. |
|
The many waves of invaders who plundered and settled in Sardinia during the thousands of
years of Sardinian history, came from the sea. By sailing around the Island, theuniqueness of Sardinia can be appreciated. From the sea one can admire not only the long
fine grained sandy beaches but also trachyte rocks, calcareous cliffs, granite rock faces and
dark masses of schists. Sailing along the coast, especially if accompanied by the silence of a
sailing boat, the unmistakable perfume of macchia Mediterranea (the Mediterranean shrub),
which characterises almost all Sardinian landscapes, is ever present.

The wind carries the
aroma of myrtle, arbutus, rosemary and wild juniper and fills the cabin with sweet scented
air.These fragrances are an inducement to stop at one of the many landing places along the coast
of the Island, not only for a stopover,but also for an excursion inland to see a Nuraghe or
simply to make friends with the local people.

|
The Sardinian people are
renowned for their spontaneous hospitality, and like all islanders thirst for contact with the
external world.
It is neither a coincidence nor a
fashion that nowadays Sardinia is the preferred destination for many tourists...
