While the coasts provide access to some of the most savory seafood in the world, inland has always been an island of shepherds; you’d be wise to sample some of the Sardinia’s decadent cheese and meats.
VACATION EXPERT TIP:
Pranzo, or lunch, is the meal that carries the most weight in Sardinia. Expect much of the island to shut down for hours during this meal—the perfect amount of time to sit and savor the likes of octopus salad and spaghetti al bottarga, or spaghetti with cured fish roe.

While a breath of fresh air is obtainable anywhere, opt for a hike on the Cannoreris Forest Trail. One of Europe’s largest oak forests, it boasts a breathtaking view with the summit of Punta Calamixi.
VACATION EXPERT TIP:
Far inland, the rolling hills are alive with fragrance. Passing through the mountains will bless your nose with the scents of the many herbs and trees of the forests: pines, holm oak and helichrysum, just to name a few. Clear the mind with a breath of fresh air.
