Sardinia, the second largest island in the Mediterranean, is situated in the heart of the Western Mediterranean (at a distance of just 12 km from Corsica, of 120 km from Tuscany and 185 km from the North African coast).
Its 1,849 km of coastline make of Sardinia one of the favourite destinations for Italians seaside holidays and with exclusive resort draw vip people from Italy and throughout the world. However the discovery of tourism is relatively recent, started at the end of the 1950's, due its natural beauty and geographical position but also for its history. Sardinia has ancient and rich history: the first sure traces of human presence date back to the Lower Palaeolithic (100,000 BC). The first permanent settlements were founded in the early Neolithic period (6,000 BC), but the first indigenous civilisation developed from the Early Bronze Age (1,500 BC), defined as 'the Nuraghic culture'.
The 'Nuraghi', most typical monument of that age in Sardinia, are impressive tower building, in the shape of a truncated cone, built with rough-hewn boulders. There are about 7.000 well preserved Nuraghi in Sardinia, they represent a sort of icon for this land and occupy a very relevant place among the archeological sites in the Western Mediterranean basin.
The Sardinia climate is mild, the weather is generally good, over the year there is an average of 300 days of sunshine, with rain especially during the winter and autumn, the average temperature in July is 24°C while in January it is 11°C.

-Cagliari: the capital of Sardinia region (Sardinia is an Autonomous Region of Italian Republic) and the largest city of the island, draw tourists who are interested in art, architecture and archaeology. 
By walking around the old historical quarters of the city, visiting several open air archaeological sites, the numerous museums and churches, the visitor can easily identify the traces and find the evidence of the civilizations and rulers who, throughout the centuries, held sway in Cagliari.

The uniqueness of the Sardinian landscapes draw tourists to all over the island. The Sardinian coasts are generally high and rocky, with promontories, wide and deep bays surrounded by islets, calcareous cliffs and granite rocks alternate with the fine sandy beaches.
The sea around this Island is among the most beautiful and transparent in all the world.

Sardinia preserves the traces of its long history in many archeological sites (among them, approx. 7000 well preserved 'Nuraghi'). In the regional typical food one can discover the many differences between the island and continental culture (the bread, fresh pasta, oil, cakes and wines of Sardinia)
