The La Maddalena archipelago is a group of beautiful islands located off the north eastern region and island of Sardinia. It consists of seven main islands which are decorated with some pretty little islets. The largest is called Maddalena and has a town of the same name located on it.

The other six islands are called Caprera, Santo Stefano, Spargi, Razzoli, Santa Maria and Budelli. Only three of these; Maddalena, Caprera and Santo Stefano, are inhabited. Evidence of humans living on some of these islands during the Prehistoric age has been discovered and is available for tourists to learn more about when they come and see for themselves.

There are frequent ferries around all these exciting spots, especially between Maddalena Island and Palau town on the North east of Sardinia.
Walk across the bridge linking the neighbouring islands of Maddalena and Caprera and be sure to sail over to see the most famous beach in Italy, the Spiaggia Rosa or pink beach!
You can look but not touch as this famous attraction is not the blushing pink colour it once was because tourists kept taking away samples of it as souvenirs. Since 1993 the local council had to put a stop to people setting foot on the beach at all.
Why not find out about other superb islands around the coast of Italy which could inspired a thrilling island hopping themed holiday!
