Sardinia

Sardinia is an island off the western coast of Italy in the northern Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by the Tyrrhenian Sea on the east and the Sea of Sardinia on the west. It is divided from Corsica in the north by the Mouth of Bonifacio. The name of this region was taken from the ancient people who lived there—the Sardinians.

Sardinia's terrain is primarily hilly and mountainous in the interior with a high, rocky coastline. The earth is covered with grass, stones, sugar oaks, palm trees, and white and pink sand, and the species range from flamingoes to wild boars and bucks. The climate is mild and warm, and rains fall occasionally during the spring and fall. The winters are considerably warm, but a violent western wind hits the island during that time as well. The beautiful island of Sardinia attracts many tourists, especially to Smeralda Coast, the Bay of Alghero, the Gulf of Cagliari and Gallura.
