SARDINIA
The island lies bordered by the French island of Corsica, the Italian Peninsula, Tunisia and the Spanish Balearic Islands. Sardinia is divided into four provinces: - Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano, and Sassar. Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean of Italy. It is surrounded by shallow seas, and its coastline measures 1,849 Km in total. The Sardinian coasts are high and rocky. Where the coast is low and leads to plains, the sea seems at times to reach inland by means of marshes, wetlands, sandy dunes. The coast is more rugged and broken in large sections in the north-west and north-east.
This beautiful region has even got a book dedicated to its beauty. The famous English writer, David Herbert Lawrence wrote "Sea and Sardinia" which has got fine description about Sardinia.
