Where in the world is Sardinia?
Where in Europe is Sardinia? Sharon and Neil Anderson Cycling Route on Sardinia First Leg of Sardinia Bicycle Touring Trip
Middle Leg of Sardinia Bicycle Touring Trip
Final Leg of Sardinia Bicycle Touring Trip
As can be seen from the trip routes, our Sardinian journey was a meandering three-month sojourn which served as a hiatus during the winter of our 18-month Canada-European tour. We arrived in Sardinia in January seeking warmer weather, but soon discovered Sardinia had much more to offer than a moderate winter climate. Neil has written a book on this portion of our trip: The Lead Goat Veered Off. It seemed an appropriate title -- everywhere we went on Sardinia we met sheep, goats, and other critters. One day... well, we'll just let you read it for yourself.... Happy adventures!
Destination Sardinia

Sardinia
The island of Sardinia has been colonised and invaded by the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Pisans, Genoese and Spaniards. Through these ravages, the locals (known as the Sardi) have retained their identity and singularity, remaining strangely insular people. The landscape is rugged, and the remaining wildlife distinctive -- from albino donkeys to griffon vultures.Cagliari, the capital, is surprisingly attractive, with an interesting medieval section and a beautiful beach. Other attractions include the magnificent and relatively unspoiled Costa Verde coastline, the beaches and grottoes around the tourist enclave of Alghero and the trekking and traditional culture offered in Nuoro Province.
