  • The upmarket Porto Raphael - Sardegna
    The upmarket Porto Raphael
    by sourbugger
    Porto Raphael, in the north of the Island (nr Palau) is a rather unusual village.

    It is a village, only some 40-odd years old, very smart and upmarket. It features some impressive looking, but not overly-ostentatious villas. Many of them appear to have a slightly 'Arab / Moroccan' feel to the architecture.

    This may be your 'set', in which case enjoy your yacht, your expensive drink in 'Harry's bar' and the stunning setting. The rest of us will slum it elsewhere.

    I would say that is quite 'Off the beaten path', at least for me. Seems to be quite a speciality and this one was also cooked by Gino, our local host. Thanx Gino! :)

    Castles in the sky
    by gabriellefox
    The town of Castelsardo. is where you can visit the ancient towers and ramparts, the Doria Castle, and the 12th-century church of Santa Maria di Tergu. More miles of breathtaking coast lead to Porto Torres, where the 11th-century Romanesque church of San Gavino is well worth a pause, and then on to Stintino, the northwestern tip of Sardinia facing the former penal island of Asinara.

  • Also called "Europe's Grand Canyon2 it's a narrow and steep valley producted by the water erosion of the Rio Flumineddu.
    It's never wider than 20 metres it's 400 to 500 metres deep, with vertical walls. The rivers forms some small lakes in the valley.

    You can get there with a two hours trek in a beautiful scenario.

    Torre dei Corsari

  • Sardegna Page by coolapaddy
  • We stayed 1 week in Torre dei Corsari at Brezza Marina apartment.
    While being a quiet place with a very nice golden sand beach, it's only 30 minutes drive from the SS131 motorway.
    It's a convenient spot to explore the Costa Verde and the west part of Sardegna in general.
    Don't miss the panorama at the top of the 100 ft sand dune.
