Sardinia, Autonomous region in Mediterranean Sea, Italy

The 24,100-square-kilometer Mediterranean island features white sand beaches, granite cliffs, mountains, and dense forests across its varied terrain.

The ancient Nuragic civilization constructed over 7,000 stone towers across Sardinia between 1900 and 730 BCE, leaving behind remarkable archaeological sites.

Local communities maintain traditional crafts including filigree jewelry making, wool weaving, and the creation of intricately decorated bread for ceremonies.

The region connects to mainland Italy through three main airports in Cagliari, Olbia, and Alghero, with regular ferry services from multiple ports.

Sardinia forms part of the Blue Zone, where residents reach age 100 at ten times the average rate, attributed to diet and lifestyle factors.
