If you love all things close to the sea then perhaps a few days of sunbathing on some of Sardinia’s gorgeous Blue Flag beaches is the right choice for you.

You may even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a passing dolphin.
Hire some snorkelling gear to dive off and explore the majestic colour of marine life below the surface of the crystal clear waters around these islands; it’s a mesmerising sight indeed!
