The scalloped coastline here is a mix of bone white beaches and underwater rocky outcrops, perfect for snorkeling and diving. And yes, the water really does look like this. Photoshop not required.

Granite cliffs that slope towards impossibly white beaches, a largely uninhabited hinterland, seabird colonies on Caprera, wild goats scampering over the white rocks, inland pine forests to explore \u2013 you just don\u2019t get this sort of thing on the resort-islands of the Greek Archipelago. And with your own boat, finding a beach all to yourself isn\u2019t a challenge.<\/p>\n<h2>4.

Its attractions aren\u2019t limited to the coast either. There\u2019s nuraghic ruins at Tiscali (a good hike if you\u2019re up for it), a great coastal path that runs all the way to the famous Cala Luna bay or you can explore the holm oak forests and boulder-filled canyon of Gola Su Gorropu. The yacht will always be waiting there for you when you get back, with a cold drink on standby no doubt.<\/p>\n<h2>5.

Caught somewhere between France and Italy, with a few distinctive flavours that make them really stand out. Look out for wild boar (sanglier) on the menu, along with fresh seafood like red mullet (rouget), sea bream (loup de mer) and crayfish (langoustine). The islands are dotted all over with little <em>agriturismi<\/em> (local farmhouses) where you can enjoy some traditional hospitality, and of course a few glasses of Corsican or Sardinian wine. A surprisingly good drop.<\/p>\n<h2>6.

As such they\u2019re lousy with history. The islands are scattered with over 7000 nuraghi (megalithic stone buildings), tombs of giants, beautifully preserved roman ruins (particularly at Aleria and Bonifacio). Every sheep filled hamlet has a story, and if you\u2019re lucky enough you might also catch one of the islands\u2019 eccentric festivals, like the ghoulish mamuthone carnival in Barbagia.<\/p>\n<h2>7.
