Rugged mountains to wooded valleys.
Sardinia is an idyllic island retreat with rugged mountains, wooded valleys, isolated coves, sandy beaches, and small harbours dotted along the coastline with colorful fishing boats bobbing in the sea as it laps against the shore.
You can see wild horses, flamingos, seals, go fishing, go mountain climbing, or you can simply enjoy a relaxing holiday on the coast of the island. By hiring a car you can take in the beautiful scenery on your drive between your chosen points of interest at your own pace.
