The second island of the Mediterranean, Sardinia reveals landscapes of a fascinating solitude: the high granite hills of Gennargentu, homeland of mouflons and wild peony, the karst plateaus of Supramonte cut with gorges and pierced with chasms, the Gulf of Orosei and its coves of white sand, the forests of oaks and evergreen junipers. In spring, the Mediterranean garrigue offers a thousand colourful flowers to its visitors. It is also a true open-air museum where the remains of the Nuragic civilization abound.
