Landforms Most of the Sardinia is a mountainous plateau that gradually slopes to the sea. The highest point, Punta La Marmora, rises to 6,017 ft. (1,834m). The mountainous terrain is drained by many small rivers and streams, and is punctuated by wide green valleys, all covered by scrub and grassy land. Flatter areas (plains) cover much of the coastline.

Sardinia
Sardinia is Italy's second largest island and the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It's also a geographical and political region of Italy, famed for its beautiful beaches and fascinating history.
Over many centuries it's survived countless invasions by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Byzantines, and local festivals on the island still reflect the long-lasting impact of those cultures.
Numerous prehistoric castles, villages, temples and tombs dot the countryside, and with its perfect weather, tourists arrive in droves, most using the dependable ferry service from the Italian mainland
