Sardegna Photos
It was easier to post a lot of photos this way, so hopefully anyone who wants to check them out can view them on Facebook. I picked this one photo for the blog because I think it shows the beauty of Sardegna really well. It was the "bluest" place I've seen outside of Crater Lake, Oregon! Deep blue water, pink sea cliffs, marble mountains, green forests...vibrant colors we don't get to see in our part of Italy.
Sardegna was our favorite place we've been in Italy...I think I can speak for both of us. Besides the sheer beauty of the place, the people were incredibly warm and welcoming. The islander mentality definitely thrives there. The thing we probably liked the most about Sardegna was it's wildness. Nature in Italy has really disappointed us. Every inch of land has been touched by man...for thousands of years. Sardegna still had the feeling of wilderness. The big marble mountains and steep sea cliffs have probably kept many areas from being developed. And the remoteness of the island itself has certainly kept too many people from settling there. There are signs of early settlers everywhere in the form of Nuraghi (see the photos), but modern civilization has not taken over Sardegna like the rest of Italy. If you want a wild place to visit in Italy, go to Sardegna!
