03 Sep Gallura – Jewel of the Mediterranean

One of the most plausible theories is that Gallura owes its name to Fretum Gallicum, the area between Sardinia and Corsica currently known as the Strait of Bonifacio. The local language variant, Gallurese, is considerably different from the other three main Sardinian language families (i.e., Campidanese, Nuorese, and Logudorese).

With its distinctive features and uniqueness, Gallura embodies the beauty of the island: here, granite and large,natural stone monuments go hand in hand with one of the most crystal-clear seas in the world.

The sea, however, is not the only attraction. Important prehistoric archaeological sites stand out in all their splendour, while modern constructions tell the tale of a pretty recent past.

These places further enrich a region characterised by rare uniqueness. Here, silence and the chance to live away from clamour coexist with an area that, just a few kilometres away, becomes the centre of summer and the world year after year.
