Sardinia
Corsica, Sardinia and the small
islands in the channel off Bonifacio
and off the Northern coast of
Sardinia do not belong together
politically, but they certainly do
geographically and as a sailing
area. The two wild, rugged islands
are well known amongst yachtsmen,
not least due to the famous regattas
which are frequently held in Porto
Cervo. Sardinia is rich in
contrasts. The luxurious coastline
of the Costa Smeralda is one of the
most exclusive places in the
Mediterranean. Some of the largest
yachts and most expensive hotels,
which are frequented by
international VIPs, are located in
and around Porto Cervo, the main
city of the Emerald Coast. On the
other hand, the hinterland of the
rest of the island is rather bare,
while the western coast has unspoilt
dreamy inlets. The Costa Verde,
incidentally, is not green but
rather white: enormous dunes, up to
several hundred metres high, tower
in front of the blue sky.
