| “ | The island of Sardinia is an autonomous region of Italy located to the south and west of the Italian peninsula. The second largest island in the Mediterranean, Sardinia, with the island of Corsica, to its north, forms the western boundary of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Although part of Italy, Sardinia is actually slightly closer to the African continental landmass than it is to that of Europe, with its southern extremity just 115 miles north of Tunisia. Sardinia is renowned for its variety of natural environments, which includes coastlines, forests, plains, and mountains, many of which are relatively pristine. Approximately 1.6 million people live in Sardinia, the two largest cities being Cagliari, the capital of the region, and Sassari. For many decades, agriculture and sheep farming formed the core of Sardinia’s economy. Today, while the island is home to roughly 4 million sheep, the dominant industries include tourism, finance, and information technology. The Sardinia Tour provides an exceptional window into the whole of the island, with a route that both transects its interior and follows its dramatic coastline. The tour begins just to the northwest of Cagliari at Decimomannu Air Base (LIED). From there, it heads northwest, to begin a clockwise circumnavigation of Sardinia. The itinerary includes sections along coasts on the west, north, east, and south, many of which feature sheer cliffs rising directly out of the water. The flight passes over the island’s highlands in the east, home to Sardinia’s highest point, Punta La Marmora, and vast swaths of forest. The journey also includes cities large and small, and tiny, remote villages. It comes to an end at Cagliari Elmas Airport (LIEE) after visiting Cagliari. Assistance on the trip will be available in the form of a 'Back on Track' button on the VFR Map -- however, be advised that using this will disable achievements tied to the activity. |
