Alison visited Sardinia with a fellow photographer friend, for four days of photographic exploration. It was an incredible trip. Together they photographed everything from the sunset over Alghero, to tiny wild orchids on the roadside. They travelled to the white sands of the northern coast and south to the hobbit-like tombs of Pottu Codinu.
They enjoyed the fresh, simply prepared seafood and crisp white wines. They drove twisty coastal roads and were stopped by a roadblock of sheep. They even sailed along the coast to get a different perspective on the rocky shores.
Sardinia would be perfect for our slow-travel adventure and we’d love to explore it from top to bottom.

Searching for wildlife in Sardinia
Our final day in Sardinia, we wanted to escape to nature. The sun was shining, but it was cool and windy, so it wasn’t a day for lying on the beach.
Instead, we headed to Lago di Baratz, a lake and nature preserve north of Alghero. It looked perfect in our guidebook – hiking trails through the woods, a peaceful lake and plenty of birds and wildlife to photograph.
