​I wanted to go to Italy (maybe Sicily, maybe the Adriatic Coast), but Fenanda insisted in Sardegna.

Sardegna, it was!

A full week in the beach, with nothing more to do than swimming and looking around. The landscape is beautiful, and the touristic construction discreet, preserving the sights.

We didn't go to the south, so, the biggest town we saw was Olbia - small, and not particularly interesting.

At the end Fernanda was somehow disappointed, because (I think) she was expecting something rather lively and commercial, like Mallorca or Canarias, and she found something closer to the simplicity and tranquillity of the Greek Islands.

Maybe she was influenced by the feminine magazines, with their systematic pictures of the usual people in the usual poses in the usual places - the yachts in the coast of Monaco, Balearic Islands, or... Sardegna.

Well, the yachts were there, the usual people should be in them, and the photographers should be around.

However, our holidays were in the land, not in the papers, and for who had read about it before leaving, it was OK.

​The coast

Sardegna's coast is much more empty and wild than we expected.

I couldn't imagine vacations there without a car (or boat).

​Travelling around, it's easy to find a beach that suits your preferences in a short distance.

Costa Smeralda

​If the landscape in Sardegna is beautiful (and it is), Costa Smeralda is the best area, and the most developed for tourism.

Wherever you look, you feel that the whole was conceived to people with a boat. 

The so many calas and islands make me believe, that, if you can afford it, this may be one of the best places for nautical holidays, but if you are with a four people family, in wheels (as we were), and depending in your salary to pay the vacations, then... just see and go.

​it's not your world, and you have a beautiful coast elsewhere, to fit your budget (if not so tight...). 

​Coda Cavallo

One of the best sights in northeast Sardegna is at the Horse's Tail Cape, so called because... of course, its shape.

The forms of the coast, the colors of the water, and the wide views from the panoramic road are a must, and the beaches are also excellent.

​So captivating, that I forgot there my camera's bag, and extras. Yes, that one in the picture, celebrating its last moments in my possession.

​Budoni

We travelled a lot in Sardegna, searching for an animated beach, but everything was calm and discreet in the area.

​Budoni is a wide beach, but with nothing more than what we had at our hotel, and its private beach.
