5 reasons to visit Sardinia

We’ve visited Sardinia now and then, and we enjoy its unique blend of cultures over millennia: Phoenician, Roman, Pisan, and Spanish. We can’t wait to return to relax and explore the original “Blue Zone,” where people live much longer, healthier and better than average. Here are five reasons to visit Sardinia.

 Food: The island’s historic agricultural and fishing traditions literally feed its traditional cuisine, high in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and healthy fats such as olive oil. But yes, there’s wine and cheese, of artisanal quality. Many Sardinians continue to work their fields and vineyards well into old age, maintaining a sense of purpose.

 Hospitality: Sardinians feel a strong sense of community and hospitality toward visitors. Islanders take pride in sharing their cultural heritage and a deep-rooted sense of identity. And the social structure in Sardinia is very community-oriented and family-centric.

 Isolated Beauty: Sardegna’s location, remote from the rest of Italy, enhances its charm and preserves its cultural traditions, offering an escape that feels distinct from bustling cities of Italy and the modern world generally.

 Pristine Waters: The Mediterranean looks pretty good anywhere, but the seas surrounding Sardegna are considered some of the cleanest and most beautiful. Water enthusiasts indulge their passion for swimming, snorkeling, and sailing. And there’s always a beach! 

Low Stress: The slower pace of life in Sardinia may require patience at times, but travel and exploration is less stressful than the hustle-bustle of increasingly tourist-packed mainland Italy.
