Sardinia is one of Italy’s most glamorous and glorious touristic ports of the Mediterranean Sea. Porto Cervo, the gemstone of Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast), has miraculous coves and water like fine crystal. It’s beauty is legendary and literally takes your breath away. Luxury is everywhere. Fashion houses, private yachts and mega sail boats host celebrities and VIPs between July and August. The unspoiled La Maddalena Archipelago off the coast of Sardinia’s Costa Smeralda is in another world. It is a quiet place of translucent, turquoise seas and sandy coves. The seven large islands and 55 tiny islands resemble a rugged version of the Caribbean, suspended between Sardinia and Corsica.
