Best Bari Sardo holiday apartments

For centuries the sea brought only danger to the local people of Bari Sardo in the form of invaders who were attracted by its strategic position on the west coast of Sardinia. Spaniards, Saracens, Vandals and Romans have all arrived and conquered over the years, leaving this small district with a line of coastal forts designed to repel whoever invaded next. Today people come for happier reasons, not least the Blue Flag beaches that are said to be the sunniest and most beautiful in Italy. It has other treasures too, best discovered by getting away from the tourist trail and renting a holiday apartment in Bari Sardo among the local population who can offer the best advice on things such as where to eat and where to find the best hidden beaches.

Holiday flats in Bari Sardo on the edge of a crystal sea

The sea here is crystal clear and bordered by miles of empty beaches that are broken only by rocky headlands on which the forts still stand. Inland the lush Mediterranean vegetation tumbles over dramatic cliffs, ancient rocky paths wind along the banks of streams and the Sardinian people carry on a way of life that has changed little for centuries. The nearby villages are rich in history, particularly the holy area of Sa Perda Longa with its standing stones which are thought to date from the Megalithic period and are considered to be the most important on Sardinia. To the north is the famous Grotta del Bue Marino, a spectacular network of caves best reached by boat from the village of Cala Gonone.
