Top 10 Geologic Formations in Sardinia, Italy

June 19, 2021 Karren Gelb

The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

Pan di Zucchero

Reviewed By rjvella266 - Mellieha, Malta

As you approach Nebida from the south you see this rugged coastline and a massive outcrop of rock which at sunset look even more spectacular. It is as impressive as anything the Costa Amalfitana has to offer in terms of natural beauty but with a much wider road and with a very robust barrier to reassure those of us that are rather faint hearted. We stayed the night in Nebida and from our hotel room right on the cliff we had other great views from the reverse side and of an old mine. From the public garden in Nebida there is also a well laid out path round the cliff edge which is also not to be missed. Definitely are worth a visit; as indeed is the whole of Sardegna.

This rock is a must see! And you can take really nice photos there. Only parking is a little bit difficult because you must leave the car on the road...no parking
