Sardinia, Italy
Spectacular Sardinia
The Mediterranean's second-largest isle by both area and population, Sardinia has been described as a whole continent in miniature. Both sandy beaches and rocky coasts abut the surrounding turquoise waters, giving way to vast plains, rainy forests and rugged mountains further inland. With so much variety packed into so little space, this Italian island is a wonderland for nature lovers—not to mention ancient history buffs. Humans first arrived here in distant prehistory and Sardinia is dotted with ruins left by the early Nuragic civilisation as well as Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals and others.

Among Mediterranean islands, Sardinia is second only to Sicily in size and population.
