My favourite island

Sardinia is magical, and to understand why it’s my favourite Mediterranean island, read my article for Telegraph Travel https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/lists/20-favourite-mediterranean-islands-likely-can-visit-one-year/.

First of all, there’s something for everyone – family-friendly resorts, romantic boutique boltholes, mysterious archeological sites, and plenty for the adventurer too, from great cycling to rock-climbing in the interior, and snorkelling or surfing in pristine waters. For a list of the island’s best beaches, read here https://www.janfuscoe.com/articles/sardinias-most-incredible-beaches/

Blue Zone

Secondly, the island is one of the world’s “blue” zones, famed for its high number of people who live to be 100. Covid-wise, it currently has 43 coronavirus cases per 100,000 residents (the national average is more than 250).  It’s all about the sea, for me.

My favourite place of all is the award-winning beach in the ancient village of Posada. With a coastline of almost 2,000 kilometres, there are hundreds of unspoilt coves and bays that are perfect for social distancing. 

Restaurants

Thirdly, there’s the food. Mostly it’s simple fare – fresh, local and tasty – like the island speciality of su porcheddu (roasted suckling pig). Personally, I’ll be heading to Su Gologone in Oliena for the best traditional cuisine. Pronto!
