You can dive and snorkel by the cliffs or go off hiking through mountain gorges with one of the trekking cooperatives. The Dos and Don’ts explain why you must be particularly careful with fire on Sardinia, and where you shouldn’t leave anything in your car. MARCO POLO Sardinia gives comprehensive coverage of the island’s regions. To help you find your way around there’s a detailed road atlas, removable pull-out map and practical map inside the back cover, and street atlases of Cagliari, Nuoro, Olbia and Sassari.
