    [slug] => sardinia
    [description] => 
This is a 2-centre wildlife holiday on a beautiful island – the 'Jewel of the Mediterranean'. Surrounded by crystal-clear sea, Sardinia offers a range of habitats from the salt pans around Cagliari to the mountains of Monte Arcosu and the rugged Gennargentu range. These maquis-covered limestone mountains descend to an unspoiled coastline of remote sandy coves. We access one, Cala Luna, by boat from the pretty harbour of Cala Gonone, taking a swim before the cliff-walk back. On such day walks we amble slowly as we search for wayside plants, birds and butterflies under the guidance of our expert leader. We may also visit such archaeological sites as the Neolithic ‘Giant’s Tomb’, the Nuraghic villages at Tiscali, and other prehistoric Nuraghic dwellings dating from around 2,000 BC.
Please note that, depending on flight schedules, the published itinerary may be reversed but will still have the same number of nights at each location.

Salt pans filled with Flamingoes, waders & Slender-billed Gulls
28 orchid species amongst a profusion of wild flowers, including endemics
Mountainsides covered in maquis & Cork Oak woodland
Eleonora’s Falcon, Barbary Partridge & Audouin’s Gull
Visit ancient Nuraghi villages – a Bronze Age civilization
Taste the ‘blood cleansing’ Cannonua wine

    [introduction] => An 8-day holiday to the 'Jewel of the Mediterranean' in search of the plants, birds and butterflies of the island's coastal lagoons and mountainous interior.

Italy casts its magical spell on many of its visitors, who find themselves returning again and again to explore different regions of this wonderful part of Europe.
Its ancient cities such as Rome, Venice and Florence are breathtaking, but these are not the only places to find architectural and artistic masterpieces. The Colosseum, Grand Canal and Ponte Vecchio might be world renowned, but equally enchanting are the hundreds of small, fortified hilltop towns and villages scattered throughout the country containing a network of often deserted cobbled streets echoing to the sound of church bells, the church itself often hiding its own treasures.

Tell me about Sardinia …
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean and lies in the Tyrrhenian Sea, south of Corsica.
It is a land of contrasts, ranging from beautiful white sandy beaches and coves to a rugged mountainous interior and quieter southern areas. Great care has been taken to ensure that Sardinia has escaped the ravages of tourism which many other Mediterranean islands have suffered.

                    [content] => 
It was our affection for Corsica and the great success of our tours there in recent years that first attracted us to Sardinia. Both islands have been so fortunate to escape the ravages of tasteless tourist developments that have afflicted other Mediterranean areas and, like Corsica, Sardinia is a large island with a rich natural history that is not well known to Britons. Famed more for its fabulous white sandy beaches and crystal waters — some of the best in the Mediterranean — and known as ‘the Jewel of the Mediterranean’, Sardinia also has some of the wildest and most beautiful countryside in Europe. Indeed, for the naturalist, it is more the island’s abundance of coastal lagoons, extensive forests, rugged mountains and limestone hills that prove most attractive, and which are home to a wide variety of interesting flora and fauna. Sardinia is also an ancient and mystical land where a Bronze Age people built the famous nuraghi stone towers (of which 7,000 remain) and the equally impressive ‘giant’s tombs’ which are amongst the most splendid of European Megalithic buildings. Since that time the Sardinians have suffered wave after wave of seaborne invaders — first the Phoenicians, then the Carthaginians, the Romans and the Moors, all of them leaving behind ruined temples and other monuments in their wake. The Sardinian people themselves frequently fled to the hills, becoming a wild and defensive race who eked out a living as hill shepherds and bandits! It is perhaps this defensive and wary nature that today has kept Sardinia relatively free of ugly tourism development.
We begin our holiday with a flight to Olbia from where we drive south to the village of Dorgarli. For the next four nights we will be based in a very friendly, family-run hotel near the east coast of the island. This will be our base from which to explore the Sopramonte region of the Gennargentu Mountains, where shepherds still roam with their large flocks of goats and sheep. This is a rugged and beautiful area of maquis-covered limestone mountains that descend to an unspoilt coastline of remote sandy coves and isolated cave systems where the endangered Monk Seal used to breed. The mountain villages are decorated with dramatic murals depicting local customs and some with topical and political themes. We will walk on Bruncu Spina where we may find alpine plants such as Corsican Saxifrage and Rock Cinquefoil and, depending on the timing of the season, we should see sheets of Crocus minimus and Viola corsica. Amongst the trees we will look for the national flower, Paeonii mascula ssp. russii, while birds may include Rock Thrush, Marmora’s Warbler, Corsican Finch and perhaps Golden Eagle.
From the pretty harbour of Cala Gonone we will take a boat along the coast to an area of cliffs where Eleonora’s Falcons breed. Hopefully we will see this late-breeding falcon at this known nesting colony. We next head back to the exquisite cove of Cala Luna, from where we will explore the gorge of the Rio Codula di Luna on foot. After a picnic lunch and perhaps a swim, we take the boat back to Cala Gonone and the gelateria on the harbour front! On all our walks we will amble gently through the day as we search for wayside plants, birds and butterflies under the guidance of our expert leader. We will also hope to find time to enjoy such nearby archaeological sites as the Nuraghic villages of Mannu, in a dramatic clifftop setting, and Serra Orios, dating from around 2,000 BC.
For the second part of this 2-centre holiday we will drive south to Capoterra, via Oristano on the west coast, where we will explore the lagoons looking for wetland birds such as Purple Heron and Red-crested Pochard. In coastal garrigue we will also hope to find Mirror Orchid (Ophrys speculum) and Ophrys eleanora.
We will be based in Capoterra for our final three nights. From here we will visit the nearby coastal marshes of the Gulf of Cagliari, where rare breeding birds include Greater Flamingo, Glossy Ibis, Little Bittern, Purple Heron, Cattle Egret, Avocet, Black-winged Stilt, Red-crested Pochard, Gull-billed Tern, Slender-billed Gull and Spectacled Warbler. We will also visit Monte Arcosu, WWF’s largest Italian nature reserve and a fine example of the magnificent forest that once clothed the island prior to the logging and then fires that destroyed so much of it in the earlier part of this century. The 915-metre granite peak of Monte Arcosu towers above the reserve, whose cliffs, crags and outcrops support a maquis flora of Narrow-leaved Cistus, Phillyrea latifolia, Lentisk, Rosemary, broom, juniper, Oleander and Strawberry Tree. In the forests are Holm, Pubescent and Cork Oaks, whilst Olive and Carob Trees stand in the dry glades and pastures. The endangered Sardinian Deer (an endemic subspecies of Red Deer), Fallow Deer, Wild Cat and Wild Boar all occur here, as well as a variety of such woodland and maquis birds as Coal Tit, Roller, Bee-eater, and Subalpine, Marmora’s, Dartford, Spectacled and Sardinian Warblers. Overhead birds of prey are possible — with Buzzards, Golden Eagles and Peregrines all breeding here.
We will also explore the Cixerri Valley and the peaceful wooded valleys of the Forest of Margani where we should find good numbers of orchids, including the endemic Ophrys chestermanii, as well as Cirl Buntings and Firecrests. The coast adjacent to our hotel often holds migrant species and Laguna di Nora hosts the largest breeding colony of Audouin’s Gulls in Italy, unusually on a low island rather than the more usual rocky offshore islet.

Summary

It was our affection for Corsica and the great success of our tours there in recent years that first attracted us to Sardinia. Both islands have been so fortunate to escape the ravages of tasteless tourist developments that have afflicted other Mediterranean areas and, like Corsica, Sardinia is a large island with a rich natural history that is not well known to Britons. Famed more for its fabulous white sandy beaches and crystal waters — some of the best in the Mediterranean — and known as ‘the Jewel of the Mediterranean’, Sardinia also has some of the wildest and most beautiful countryside in Europe. Indeed, for the naturalist, it is more the island’s abundance of coastal lagoons, extensive forests, rugged mountains and limestone hills that prove most attractive, and which are home to a wide variety of interesting flora and fauna. Sardinia is also an ancient and mystical land where a Bronze Age people built the famous nuraghi stone towers (of which 7,000 remain) and the equally impressive ‘giant’s tombs’ which are amongst the most splendid of European Megalithic buildings. Since that time the Sardinians have suffered wave after wave of seaborne invaders — first the Phoenicians, then the Carthaginians, the Romans and the Moors, all of them leaving behind ruined temples and other monuments in their wake. The Sardinian people themselves frequently fled to the hills, becoming a wild and defensive race who eked out a living as hill shepherds and bandits! It is perhaps this defensive and wary nature that today has kept Sardinia relatively free of ugly tourism development.

We begin our holiday with a flight to Olbia from where we drive south to the village of Dorgarli. For the next four nights we will be based in a very friendly, family-run hotel near the east coast of the island. This will be our base from which to explore the Sopramonte region of the Gennargentu Mountains, where shepherds still roam with their large flocks of goats and sheep. This is a rugged and beautiful area of maquis-covered limestone mountains that descend to an unspoilt coastline of remote sandy coves and isolated cave systems where the endangered Monk Seal used to breed. The mountain villages are decorated with dramatic murals depicting local customs and some with topical and political themes. We will walk on Bruncu Spina where we may find alpine plants such as Corsican Saxifrage and Rock Cinquefoil and, depending on the timing of the season, we should see sheets of Crocus minimus and Viola corsica. Amongst the trees we will look for the national flower, Paeonii mascula ssp. russii, while birds may include Rock Thrush, Marmora’s Warbler, Corsican Finch and perhaps Golden Eagle.

From the pretty harbour of Cala Gonone we will take a boat along the coast to an area of cliffs where Eleonora’s Falcons breed. Hopefully we will see this late-breeding falcon at this known nesting colony. We next head back to the exquisite cove of Cala Luna, from where we will explore the gorge of the Rio Codula di Luna on foot. After a picnic lunch and perhaps a swim, we take the boat back to Cala Gonone and the gelateria on the harbour front! On all our walks we will amble gently through the day as we search for wayside plants, birds and butterflies under the guidance of our expert leader. We will also hope to find time to enjoy such nearby archaeological sites as the Nuraghic villages of Mannu, in a dramatic clifftop setting, and Serra Orios, dating from around 2,000 BC.

For the second part of this 2-centre holiday we will drive south to Capoterra, via Oristano on the west coast, where we will explore the lagoons looking for wetland birds such as Purple Heron and Red-crested Pochard. In coastal garrigue we will also hope to find Mirror Orchid (Ophrys speculum) and Ophrys eleanora.

We will be based in Capoterra for our final three nights. From here we will visit the nearby coastal marshes of the Gulf of Cagliari, where rare breeding birds include Greater Flamingo, Glossy Ibis, Little Bittern, Purple Heron, Cattle Egret, Avocet, Black-winged Stilt, Red-crested Pochard, Gull-billed Tern, Slender-billed Gull and Spectacled Warbler. We will also visit Monte Arcosu, WWF’s largest Italian nature reserve and a fine example of the magnificent forest that once clothed the island prior to the logging and then fires that destroyed so much of it in the earlier part of this century. The 915-metre granite peak of Monte Arcosu towers above the reserve, whose cliffs, crags and outcrops support a maquis flora of Narrow-leaved Cistus, Phillyrea latifolia, Lentisk, Rosemary, broom, juniper, Oleander and Strawberry Tree. In the forests are Holm, Pubescent and Cork Oaks, whilst Olive and Carob Trees stand in the dry glades and pastures. The endangered Sardinian Deer (an endemic subspecies of Red Deer), Fallow Deer, Wild Cat and Wild Boar all occur here, as well as a variety of such woodland and maquis birds as Coal Tit, Roller, Bee-eater, and Subalpine, Marmora’s, Dartford, Spectacled and Sardinian Warblers. Overhead birds of prey are possible — with Buzzards, Golden Eagles and Peregrines all breeding here.

We will also explore the Cixerri Valley and the peaceful wooded valleys of the Forest of Margani where we should find good numbers of orchids, including the endemic Ophrys chestermanii, as well as Cirl Buntings and Firecrests. The coast adjacent to our hotel often holds migrant species and Laguna di Nora hosts the largest breeding colony of Audouin’s Gulls in Italy, unusually on a low island rather than the more usual rocky offshore islet.
