Uncover incredible history

Greece has left a huge mark on Sicily’s past, so there’s no shortage of fascinating ancient sites still waiting to be explored. A prime example is the stunning Valley of the Temples, one of the island’s seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. History lovers, this one’s a must!

Food favourites

Italian cuisine is famous for its twirling pasta, mouth-watering pizzas and creamy gelato, but in Sicily, it’s given a delicious island twist. Think super-fresh seafood, lemon-infused desserts, and of course the famous Sicilian arancini from a local street food stall. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!

The stunning coastline

Imagine golden beaches, hidden coves and crystal-clear waters. Sounds like your kind of place, right? This gorgeous corner of Italy has it all and then some. From Cefalù to Campofelice di Roccella, there’s a perfect stretch of beach waiting for you. And if you fancy a little adventure, the breathtaking Aeolian Islands are just off the north coast.

Beaches

Showstopping, sandy, serene – it’s hard to do Sardinia’s spectacular beaches justice. If you’re craving a piece of paradise just a few hours from the UK, this is where you’ll find it. Each one flaunts the island’s naturally beautiful features (soft white sands and cobalt-blue waters) but vary from secret coves and teeny patches to dreamy bays and mile-long sweeps.

Eating and drinking (beaches)

Sardinia’s cuisine will leave an impression on you. How can you forget warm evenings sharing seafood antipasti in bustling piazzas or feeling the coastal breeze on your face as you eat lemony pasta by the water? And those welcoming rustic farmsteads where you tried delicious suckling pig? Homemade limoncello and island-grown wine top off the whole experience.

Nightlife

The island’s nightlife differs in style depending on which part you’re visiting. Bouncing bars and late-night clubs can be found in San Teodoro, while Baia Sardinia’s got by-the-sand spots and fun-loving waterfront restaurants. If it’s swanky cocktails you’re after, then set your sights on glitzy Porto Cervo.
