1. Diving in Sardinia

Sardinia is considered one of the Mediterranean’s premier diving destinations. PADI open water divers, technical divers and beginners are attracted to the underwater maze-like caves, historical wrecks and beautiful marine life. Most diving areas are located on the east coast as well as the protected areas of the Archipelago of the Maddalena and the Marine Park of Lavezzi. One of the most visited dive sites is Grotta del Nero but around the island, you also have the wrecks of the KT German ship, the Japanese tanker Angelica or the Italian freighter, the Cogliano. The Grouper Reef is home to large groupers living in a colony. To make the best of your diving experience, late spring, summer and early autumn are the best times of the year to explore the underwater world, so be sure to rent a villa in Sardinia for those dates.

2. Visit the historical sites

If you want to know in depth the history and culture of Sardinia, do not miss the opportunity to visit the sites of Barumini, Palmavera, Tharros and Villa di Tigellio. A true trip to the past to discover the main features of the cultures that settled in the territory: the nuragas, the Phoenicians and the Romans. Walk through the city walls of the medieval town of Alghero, and visit the impressive Roman ruins of Nora or the beautiful cathedral of Cagliari. Enjoy the town’s coastal beauty combined with attractive architectural sites.

3. Fall in love with Stintino

Stintino is one of the most popular tourist destinations, capable of combining the charm of traditional fishing villages with top-notch buildings. A small fishing village where the white of its houses of popular architecture contrasts with the blue of the sky and the transparency of its waters. But it also offers a wide variety of leisure activities, such as diving, golf, excursions and bike and horse riding.

4. Taste the Sardinian flavours

The cuisine of Sardinia stands out for its simplicity, its natural ingredients and for its locally sourced produce of delicate and intense flavours with which exquisite recipes are prepared. Before you go home, taste some lobster from Alghero, the tuna from Carloforte, the spaghetti with sea urchins and the grilled suckling pig served on cork trays and sprinkled with myrtle branches. To go with every meal, have some Pane Guttiau, the customary flatbread. The icing on the cake? Pane e saba is the traditional Sardinian dessert eaten mostly during the first week of November on All Saints Day. It is also part of Christmas and Easter menus. Saba is a cooked wine used in several Italian recipes. Don’t think it twice and book a villa in Sardinia.

5. Hike Sardinia’s mountains

Sardinia is an outdoor adventurer’s fantastic playground. The rolling hills and the lush green scenery can provide a whole paradise for outdoor lovers looking for some natural sites to explore. One of the best locations to appreciate the natural splendour of Sardinia is in Gola Su Gorropu, also known as ‘Europe’s Grand Canyon’. The limestone walls of this stunning gorge will leave you in awe. Explore the boulder-strewn ravine and trek along the paths or cross the canyons. Natural gems are awaiting you in Sardinia, as well as some beautiful cottage in Sardinia.

6. Peruse the local markets

Local markets are the heart of any town and everyday life happens around the stalls where locals choose their groceries, fresh fish and meat and other artisan products coming from the island farms. Most Sardinian eateries use these products for their dishes. One of the most colourful and atmospheric markets on the island is the Pula Market, held in south Sardinia every Tuesday. There are some holiday rentals and lettings in Sardinia with very good locations that will allow you to be close to these local markets.

7. Dive into the island’s folklore

Traditions, festivals and culture are the folklore of every country and Sardinians are great at throwing fabulous celebrations. Enjoy colourful carnivals to religious processions during the year, including the Sagra del Redentore celebrations in Nuoro or the masks and horse parades of Cavalcata Sarda in Sassari. Participate in St. John the Baptist party, a summer solstice celebration where everybody dresses in white and celebrates friendship around the fir or enjoy one of the best jazz festivals in August. Whatever time of the year you are in Sardinia, there is always something to celebrate. Ready to join the party? Find your perfect villa holidays in Sardinia!.
