If you try to consider the coast of Italy withpoint of view of an amazing cluster of the most beautiful, picturesque places of our native planet, the suspicion that a generous Demiurge walked across this part of the globe involuntarily creeps in. One of the footprints of his feet rose above the azure surface of the Mediterranean Sea between Corsica and Sicily and turned into the island of Sardinia. Even the shape of the island from a bird's-eye view resembles the sole of a huge sandal. It is now difficult to get to the bottom of the truth in a variety of bizarre legends about the birth of this heavenly corner. However, for those who decided to arrange a holiday on the island of Sardinia, there will be an opportunity to hear each of them from local local lore, with a fanatical meticulousness gathered and the legend of the nephew of Hercules Sardus, and the first step on earth here was God, and a dozen more various versions of the emergence of this unique island.
Edem? No. Sardinia!
Anyone who first goes to the land of the island, inthe first moment can not understand where the celestial vault ends and where the infinite azure expanses of the sea begin. To the nearest mainland there are as many as 200 kilometers of salt water. The nature of the island is striking in its brightness and variety of colors. Even the air in Sardinia is special, filled with the scent of flowers and trees. Light notes of endless lemon trees, spicy smell of myrtle and tart - coniferous groves, heady aroma of flowering oleanders and bougainvilleas. There is a feeling that at some point you just left the earth's firmament and found yourself in paradise booths. There is everything: sand dunes, picturesque rocks and grottoes, cozy bays and numerous hills. As if someone specially collected natural beauty from everywhere and united in this natural oasis; but because Sardinia - a holiday, which they expect and dream of. 
Open-air museum
Maybe it was in an attempt to find an earthly paradisenumerous conquerors came to the island. Spaniards, Phoenicians, Sardis, Greeks and Arabs visited Sardinia at various times, which is evidenced by numerous architectural monuments that still adorn the island to this day. Sardis (by the way, some scientists believe that it was these ancient tribes that gave the name to the island) left behind them nuragi, considered one of the island's main attractions. The time of their construction will not be taken with a certain accuracy by any historian. But according to rough estimates, they date from the 12th to the 13th century BC. By the way, the purpose of these structures, in form resembling truncated cones, is also a mystery. Either they served as the dwellings of the leaders, or defensive fortifications. The ancient Romans left after themselves carved directly into the rock amphitheater. Already twenty centuries this magnificent structure adorns the capital of Sardinia Cagliari. The area of the amphitheater is 6000 square meters and can accommodate about 10 thousand spectators. Surprisingly, time hardly touched this monument. To this day concerts and performances are held in its walls. And many tourists have the opportunity to enjoy the incredible acoustic properties of this structure. Evidence of a stay on the island of the Spaniards became the whole city. The so-called "Little Barcelona", or Alghero. This city has many names. The city of light it is called for the white walls of houses, and "coral city" - because of the fact that its coast is dotted with these "living" stones. The whole old part of the city - the old streets and magnificent palaces (Palau Reial, Palazzo Carcassona), the Gothic cathedral of St. Mary and the Church of San Michele - bear the stamp of the princely beauty of Spain. 
Workshop of nature
For many tourists who have chosen a holiday in Sardinia,the island is attractive not so much by the creations of human hands, as by numerous unique natural monuments. The same Demiurge, who settled flocks of pink flamingos in the capital of Sardinia, Cagliari, or came from the myths of the ancient Greeks, Sardus generously crumbled the archipelago of Maddalena off the coast of the island. Sixty islands, rising directly from the water, have become a national park, protected by the state. Granite rocks of the most diverse shapes and sizes are considered to be the sample of the most beautiful landscape in the world. In the coastal waters of the archipelago is the Whale Reserve. However, if you are fond of diving, the seabed will reveal many beautiful secrets to you. And the numerous dolphins, here and there fearlessly scurrying in the clear waters of the sea, will make you company. The famous Neptune Caves are like a fantastic royal palace. The centuries-old outgrowths of stalagmites and stalactites form columns supporting the arch of the cave. Natural arches and stone laces adorn the walls. And one of the compositions reminds the real church organ. The surface of the underground lake Lamarmore, about a hundred meters in length, serves as a floor in this underground castle, created by nature itself. And a small board will seem a steep descent on the 675 steps cut straight in the rock to see this fascinating beauty with your own eyes. Molentarjus Park is one of the most incredible in Europe. There are numerous species of endangered waterfowl. White and Egyptian herons, black cormorants, red-headed dykes and beautiful pink flamingos are just a small part of fauna, comfortably inhabiting 1600 hectares of marshes and water. Some naturalists come to Sardinia just to visit this park. 
Tourist Mecca
Such an abundance of natural beauty, historicalmonuments and famous white beaches (by the way, the white sand of the beaches of the island is considered one of the most valuable treasures of the island) made Sardinia a Mecca for tourists. And not only for ordinary people. Famous Hollywood stars, prominent politicians and even the infamous Silvio Berlusconi chose this unique island for recreation. Why?

It is in Sardinia that 25% of all beaches in Italy are concentrated. But the Sardis themselves prefer to rest on the wild beaches. If you went to rest with children or just want to lie on white sand, the six-kilometer Poetto beaches will surely be an excellent choice for you. The beach strip, where 50 meters wide is shoal, serves as a wonderful place for kids to splash without a threat to life. And this beach is considered the most comfortable.

Gourmets say that his meat is melting in his mouth. Among other things, Sardinia is famous for its sheep cheese.
