  • Trip #2164 October 1-10, 2021 Leader Merri Fox
    SARDINIA: Wild Scenery and Ancient Culture – Trip #2164 October 1-10, 2021 Leader Merri Fox Join leader Merri Fox on this AMC adventure to the beautiful island of Sardinia where we will enjoy a variety of activities designed to appreciate the culture and scenery of this island - a prime tourist destination for Europeans but not well known on this side of the pond. Our hikes and walks will be easy to moderate level (see itinerary below for details), we’ll have the support of an outfitter, local drivers and guides for all activities so we can make the most of our time here. In addition, we’ll enjoy many fine meals and stay in good quality hotels in several of the most famous of the island’s historic towns. Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, yet still one of Italy’s least known regions, with extensive wilderness areas, sparsely-populated farming regions and long stretches of coastline accessible only on foot or by boat. It is home to some of Europe’s most beautiful beaches. Numerous signs of the bronze-age Nuraghic culture are scattered across the landscape, as well as traces of the Roman Empire and other groups that dominated at different times during Sardinia’s turbulent history. The island has a vibrant culture that is distinctly different from mainland Italy. Each town and village has their own unique festivals celebrating religious events and ancient traditions. Sardinia’s cuisine is based around fresh seafood and farm-produce, complemented by a wide range of excellent local wines.

  • Destination Sardinia Despite Its Celebrity As a Holiday Destination, Sardinia Remains Remark- Ably Enigmatic
    © Lonely Planet Publications 12 Destination Sardinia Despite its celebrity as a holiday destination, Sardinia remains remark- ably enigmatic. Hidden behind the golden facade of swanky coastal re- sorts and spectacular beaches is an altogether different Sardinia, an island of untamed nature and proud tradition, of dark granite peaks, dizzying valleys and endless forests, all shrouded in an eerie coat of silence. Almost 7000 nuraghi (stone towers) lie strewn about the countryside, a reminder of prehistoric life on the island. This beautiful Celtic landscape has fostered an isolated lifestyle still evident today. Although access is now assured by modern roads, for centuries many inland communities were cut off from the outside world by Sardinia’s mountainous terrain. As a result inlanders, though unfail- ingly polite and helpful, can be diffident towards outsiders, and many towns bear the hallmarks of a difficult existence. To address the traditional scourges of rural life, the regional authorities are aggressively promoting Sardinia as a year-round holiday destination. The island’s fabulous outdoors potential means that hiking, biking and climbing are becoming popular activities for visitors. Regional festi- vals – not only great spectacles but genuine expressions of local pride – are drawing tourists seduced by Sardinia’s folkloristic appeal and unique FAST FACTS gastronomic traditions. Population: 1.65 million The Sardinian coast, however, continues to attract most of the at- tention and most of the visitors. An increase in low-cost flights into Area: 24,090 sq km Alghero and Olbia has seen tourist numbers rising in recent years, and Italy’s GDP: €1.4 trillion the Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) remains the destination of choice Sardinia’s GDP per head: for oligarchs, captains of industry and media moguls.
