It is no surprise that Sardinia is also called “The Caribbean of the Mediterranean Sea”. The turquoise water and breath-taking beaches call for road trips around the island and long beach days. There are many bays and beaches to explore all around the island.
Sardinia, or in Italian 'Sardegna', is not a mainstream Mediterranean destination but a sophisticated Italian island, west of mainland Italy and south of Corsica. With over 1,800km of unspoilt coastline, it is renowned for beautiful beaches, turquoise sea and fascinating rock formations.
They are stunning islands, and each is better under different aspects. If you want a sun and sea vacation, then Sardinia wins this, hands down. It's arguably home to the best beaches in Europe.
However, let me be clear: while Sardinia isn't the most expensive place to visit, you want to be realistic. You can't expect to visit the island on a €5 per day budget – that simply won't happen, and not even if you travel in the off season and only stick to local places.
I guess this isn't too much help but it is really up to what you want, if you fancy driving around and a bit more personal space I would go for Sardinia. If you prefer not to drive and take a view organised day trips then the Amalfi coast. Hope this helps?
Sardinians are friendly and polite with a strong sense of tradition and a passion for their island. This is reflected in their many festivals and events that take place throughout the year.
