3La Maddalena, Italy
Off the northeastern coast of Sardinia lies the La Maddalena Archipelago, a collection of islands surrounded by spectacularly clear water.
The main island, La Maddalena, has a charming waterfront and colorful streets, but the real attraction is the surrounding coastline. Boat trips reveal tiny coves, granite rock formations and beaches where the water changes from turquoise to deep blue.
Nearby Caprera is known for its wild landscapes and protected natural environment, making the archipelago a wonderful choice for travelers who want to combine Italian charm with untouched Mediterranean scenery.
Paradise factor: Crystal-clear water and wild island landscapes.
