Sardinia: Alghero has escaped mass tourism

Sardinia, the second largest island of the Mediterranean, has escaped mass tourism and offers a unique combination of unspoilt Mediterranean landscapes, historical sites, enchanting towns, history, traditions and superb cuisine, writes Trish Whelan.

Travel with Concorde Travel and discover the resort of Alghero, a thriving tourist city with a remarkable marina. This city maintains a year round economy outside of the busy summer months. To the north of the marina is the fine sandy beach of Alghero which provides good bathing opportunities and is just a short stroll from the historic centre.
