TOP 5 REASONS TO VISIT SARDINIA , ITALY
Sardinia, Italia is a beautiful island located to the west of Italy in the Mediterranean
sea . It is the second largest island in the Mediterranean sea
after Sicily Greece , Morocco , and even the rolling green found in Ireland Sardinia has a very rich culture which
can be seen virtually everywhere you look. Alongside Italian (Italiano), the
official langualge throughout Sardinia is
Sardinian (Sardu) which is the most widely spoken language on the island. Sardinian
is a distinct branch of the Romance language family, and actually not an
italian dialect. The language has been influenced by Catalan, Spanish and
indigenous Nuragic. You can
find many varieties of this dialect and interesting enough, it is difficult for
people from different parts of the island to understand the other dialects
spoken. Typical dishes can be sampled such as mirto (a digestive liquor), pane
carasau (a crispy, flat bread), and seadas (a cheese fritter with honey). Don't
forget to sample the incredible Pecorino Sardo when you are there! Don't worry,
the little vendors will even come to you while you are on the beach or relaxing
in your apartment.
If I haven't already listed enough reasons to visit, then let me list some of Amancara's top suggestions for things to do on your next trip to Sardinia!
1. Obviously our number one is visiting our shop in Porto Cervo!
Our shop is only open during the summer months and there you can find a
huge collection of our luxury interiors and speak with some of our
professionals about refitting your yacht or dressing your beds! If you are just

2. Porto Cervo Marina
The
Costa Smeralda, in the North-East of Sardinia ,
is the favorite holiday destination for some of the wealthiest people in
the world. Ever since Prince Aga Khan visited this region in the 60′s, many
celebrities have chosen the Sardinian
Emerald Coast harbor
of Porto Cervo
3. Neptune Caves
The most popular caves of Sardinia to find in Alghero and are dedicated to the
sea God
Neptune. They are both reachable via ferry boat and through a 600
steps staircase, offering stunning views over the sea and the coast.
4. Nuraghe of Barumini
It is the most important and well
preserved among about 7,000 nuraghe spread all over the island, also called “
Su Nuraxi' . The Nuraghe, in 1997 was declared World Heritage
by UNESCO and is absolutely a Sardinian place worth
visiting.
5) Maddalena Archipelago
Consisting
of 7 major islands, Maddalena Archipelego is another Unesco World
heritage (declared in 1994) of Sardinia .
Its waters are clear and clean; full day or half day excursions are organized:
they allow you to visit some small beaches and coves only reachable by boat,
whose nature is still preserved and whose beauty is breathtaking. Lovers of
pure and pristine sea can choose to stay at the 5-star Grand Hotel Ma&Ma,
in the south-west coast of the island, at 350 meters far from the
sea. Otherwise, for a more private and secluded stay, La Casitta is
the right choice. Offering a familiar and attentive service, it is one of the
few villas in the small island
of Santa Maria
