Tavolara Island

Tavolara Island

Another of Sardinia’s islands situated in the northeast – specifically off the coast of Olbia – Tavolara is a small but striking slice of limestone massif rising out of the water like a mountain. Characterized by steep cliffs, the island spans five kilometers, and reaches an altitude of 1,854 feet (that’s at Monte Cannone).

Spargi

Spargi

The third largest island in La Maddalena archipelago, Spargi is also uninhabited. It boasts a rugged, granite landscape that juts dramatically out of the turquoise seas. As yet undeveloped, Spargi is a relaxing spot that’s perfect for a day trip during your time in La Maddalena. You can visit on a private boat or tour.

This island may be very attractive, but Santo Stefano is actually mainly known for playing host to a NATO Naval Base, as well as the Italian Navy too. Because of this military connection, most of the island remains uninhabited, aside from visitors to the tourist resort and the military.
