Sardinia's Emerald North

Northern Sardinia combines translucent water and sculpted granite with prehistoric sites, cork forests and towns that retain a distinct island identity. Beginning on the Costa Smeralda, the route continues through the La Maddalena archipelago and into the inland landscapes of Gallura before reaching Castelsardo. The journey offers far more than celebrated beaches: it connects seafaring, archaeology, food and craft in a compact introduction that can be made more active, luxurious or culturally focused.
