Overview
La Maddalena is the big sister to about 60 islands and islets that make up the largest archipelago of Gallura and Sardinia, protected by the national park established in 1994, an unspoilt marvel of the Mediterranean.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena, Via Giulio Cesare 7, 07024, Sardinia Italy
La Maddalena is the name of the principal island of an archipelago off the north-eastern tip of Sardinia. The archipelago is also known as La Maddalena, and consists of over sixty islands, islets and rocks. In the past the islands have been important strategic naval and military bases; now they are an attractive and fairly low-key holiday destination. La Maddalena is reached by frequent car ferries from the port town of Palau, a journey which takes just twenty minutes. The islands are dotted with old military fortifications and some of these would make interesting sites to visit. The islands’ naval history encompasses a proud defeat of a French assault led by Bonaparte in 1793, a lengthy offshore sojourn by Nelson’s fleet just before its depart to Trafalgar, and a US naval base, closed in 2008.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Compendio Garibaldino, Street Cala Garibaldi -Arbuticci Isola Caprera, 07024, Sardinia Italy
The most famous attractions are the beautiful unspoiled beaches, the blue seas and the final home of Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, on the island of Caprera which is united to the main island through a long bridge.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Chiesa dalla Santissima Trinita, Collo Piano, 07024, Sardinia Italy
First church built in the island with nearby fantastic beaches
Duration: 30 minutes

Der Maddalena- Archipel zwischen Sardinien und Korsika wirkt ein wenig aus der Zeit gefallen. Das mag an seiner geologischen Beschaffenheit liegen. Es braucht nicht viel, um dabei an Jules Verne und so manche seiner Beschreibungen verlorener Welten zu denken. Den Profaneren unter uns dürften beim Anblick bizarrer Gesteinsformationen inmitten von Sand und türkisem Meer zumindest die Seychellen in den Sinn kommen. „La Maddalena“ , die Hauptinsel, - von Palau auf Sardinien aus leicht mit der Fähre erreichbar -, offeriert sich nicht. Sie will entdeckt und erschlossen werden. Dafür bietet sie eine rund um den Archipel führende Panoramastrasse, die alle paar Momente tiefe Einblicke in ihre Schönheit gewährt. Am besten aber lässt sich der aus mehreren Inseln , Inselchen und Felsen im Meer bestehende Archipel mit dem Segelboot erkunden. Entsprechende Infrastruktur ist ausreichend vorhanden. Der Hauptort gleichen Namens passt sich selbstbewusst in dieses einmalige Gefüge der Natur. Zwar nichts für Nachtschwärmer, die sind besser an der Costa Smeralda bedient. Aber die Einkaufsstraße kann sich mit ihren stimmigen kleinen Läden und Lokalen jedenfalls sehen lassen. Vor allem wenn abends die Kadetten der hiesigen Marineschule in ihren schmucken weißen Seemannsuniformen Ausgang haben. Unbedingt sollte man die mit einer schmalen Brücke verbundene Schwester von „La Maddalena „ - „La Caprera“ erkunden. Seinerzeit der Alterssitz des Kämpfers für die Einheit Italiens, Garibaldi… Essen ? Es gibt Lokale, die sind einfach eingerichtet und abends immer voll und es gibt Lokale , die sind trotz teurem Ambiente halbleer… Zu empfehlen: L‘Aragosta in der Via Amendola 38
