In the translucent seas of the La Maddalena archipelago, you're in another world!
It doesn't feel like the Mediterranean here, but something like the Caraibbean Sea!
The Village of La Maddalena, about 16 thousand inhabitants, with his small but charming city center, is one of the main attraction of Sardinia.
The Maddalena Archipelago is located on the north-western coast of Sardinia, off the Costa Smeralda. It consists of 7 major islands and other smaller islands (about 55!) and has some of the most spectacular beaches in Italy, some of the cleanest and clearest water.
This has a lot to do with history, Napoleone Bonaparte & Giuseppe Garibaldi are some of the most well known people all over the World that passed here.
Garibaldi spent his last 26 year in the Island of Caprera, connected with the main land with a Bridge.
Both places are something unique to visit and you cannot miss!
Of course, on request, we can stop for you in one of the beaches of the Island to swim and relax.

The fascinating unspoilt small Island of Caprera is in the Maddalena Archipelago off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.
In the area of La Maddalena island in the Strait of Bonifacio, it is a tourist destination and the place where Giuseppe Garibaldi retired from 1854 until his death in 1882. Here there is his House/Museum of the Hero.
The island of Caprera is entirely included in the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park.
The island is associated with Giuseppe Garibaldi, an Italian patriot and fighter who lived in the 19th century and was one of the fathers of Italian Unification.
