In Sardinia, I particularly appreciated the Gennargentu massif at the centre of the island: a vast mountain with rounded peaks that reaches 1834 metres of altitude at La Mamora, surrounded by olive groves and scrub (called “macchia" in Sardinia). I suggest you visit the heart of the island in the Barbagia region: I loved its high dolomitic plateaus, pine forests, caves, canyons and its wild animals.Besides Gennargentu, I also recommend you stroll through the town of Nuoro for its view of Mount Ortobene (995 metres): an ideal place for amateurs of hiking. Also take the time to contemplate the nuraghi of Arvu and Ordignai, on the east coast of the island. A few metres from the nuraghe of Arvu, head for the small seaside resort of Cala Gonone and then go by boat to the cavern of the Bue Marino: I loved its superb stalactites and monk seals. From there, don’t hesitate to roam the majestic Gulf of Orosei for its towering cliffs of white limestone.
