The region in the north-east of Sardinia is known as the Caribbean of Europe. The region was given the name "Smeralda" due to the emerald-like color of the sea. The region is known for its turquoise bays and beautiful white sandy beaches. Special tip: An excursion to the beautiful island of La Maddalena. You can reach the island after a short trip by car ferry from the port of Palau. However, it is more impressive to charter a small motorboat and discover the island with its many bathing bays. It is generally worth discovering Sardinia from the water, as this is the best way to marvel at the island's countless small islands and natural beauty.
