What people say
Livio Colapinto
"Dreamy islands with Caribbean-blue seas make up this archipelago on the northeast coast, near the Costa Smeralda just a 20-minute car-ferry ride from Palau. A cluster of seven islands and outlying islets fringed by a rocky shoreline and some 300 white-sand beaches lapped by translucent turquoise-green waters.
The only inhabited island is La Maddalena - linked with a causeway to Garibaldi’s island, Caprera - a pretty, lively port with bars, cafés, restaurants and a laid-back vibe; it’s the best place to pick up a boat for exploring the rest of the archipelago.
You can go on a boat trip and see five of the other main islands, including Budelli, which has a glorious pale pink beach called Spiaggia Rosa, and Spargi.
Trattoria l’Avventura, on the seafront, is a great spot for a plate of spaghetti alle vongole and a glass of the local Vermentino."

"Stroll around the major city of the island. Here you can embrace the Italian Dolce Vita and the island slow life with kids playing and running around. It is a quite touristic spot and you can find lots of shops where to buy cute souvenirs or traditional Sardinian food to bring back home with you."
