Cadogan Guides Sardinia

The splendidly isolated Italian island of Sardinia is a place where history and geography have conspired to make a world apart. The luxury playground of the Aga Kahn's Costa Smeralda steals the headlines, but the Cadogan guide reveals the true Sardinia: a mysterious Bronze Age civilisation that has left fascinating monuments dotted in profusion throughout rugged landscapes infused with the scent of myrtle and thyme. Added to this are sugar-soft beaches on a turquoise sea, lagoons of pink flamingos, the Sards' unique culture with village festivals and ancient, haunting polyphonic music, and an unusual and wide-ranging cuisine with plenty of good strong red wine.Facaros, Dana is the author of 'Cadogan Guides Sardinia ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781860113246 and ISBN 1860113249.
