This guide to Sardinia, an island surrounded by one of the most beautiful and transparent seas in the world, surveys all the possibilities for visitors, from aquatic sports along the 1,800-km coastline -- the second-longest of the Mediterranean islands -- to the best places to dine, stay, and play. The guide contains authoritative advice and insight on history, culture, food, wine, shopping, local markets, and festivals, while a new design and color-coded index make finding the right information a snap.
