About the location
The island's coastline is defined by the Costa Smeralda's granite formations and the dramatic hidden coves of the Gulf of Orosei, where limestone cliffs drop into neon-blue water. Inland, the landscape shifts to the wild Supramonte massif and the Barbagia region, where ancient traditions and rugged peaks provide a stark, soulful contrast to the glamorous coast. From the pink flamingos in the lagoons of Cagliari to the surreal rock shapes of Capo Testa, the island provides a constant stream of high-contrast textures and Mediterranean light. Photographers should also seek out the unique Nuragic complexes, which offer haunting silhouettes against the golden hour sky.
