There are many beautiful places in Italy, but the island of Sardinia is not without reason very popular. The nature here is amazingly beautiful, so it is not surprising that the tourism industry has flourished here. But organizing a budget vacation here is not so simple, since Sardinia is deservedly considered a rather expensive resort.
Here is one of the most unusual hotels in the world. Guests are invited to stay in one of the six rooms located in a real old lighthouse. Outside the tourist areas, local people in Sardinia practically do not speak English. But they all know two languages - Italian and Sardinian. Only in Sardinia they cook casa marza, one of the most extreme types of cheese in the world. It is banned for sale even in Italy itself, because its feature is the many living larvae of a cheese fly swarming in it. Eating kasu marzu for food is really dangerous for health. Sardinia is considered the most expensive of all European resorts. More precisely, not the island itself, but part of its coast, known as the Emerald Coast.
In Sardinia, you can visit the ruins of more than 3 thousand ancient fortresses. A quarter of all Italian beaches are located here on the island. The environmental situation in Sardinia is better than in any other Italian province. The largest and at the same time the cleanest beaches in all of Europe within the city limits are located in Sardinia. The sea near the Sardinian shores is more transparent than anywhere else in Italy.
Despite the developed tourist industry, Sardinia is not rich. It produces only a little over 2 percent of Italy’s GDP. There are trams here, but locals call them the easy subway. Sardinia is larger than Israel in size. Throughout the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia is the second largest island. Sicily, another Italian island is the first among them. Four large rivers flow in Sardinia. It once belonged to Spain and then to Austria.
