Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena

Established in 1996, Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena consists of seven main islands and several smaller granite islets off Sardinia's northeastern coast.

Travelers tip: The area is an important natural habitat, and although national-park status has imposed protection, the ecosystem remains fragile – tread carefully.
