La Maddalena or the Baunei Coast - Which Should You Visit?

Trying to decide between the La Maddalena Archipelago and the Baunei Coast?

They're two of Sardinia's most famous destinations, but they offer completely different experiences.

In this episode, I compare everything you need to know before choosing between them: accessibility, beaches, boat trips, hiking, crowds, things to do beyond the beach, and who each destination is best suited for.

By the end of the episode, you'll know which one is the better fit for your trip—or whether you should visit both.
