Itinerary
La Maddalena is the name of the principal island of an archipelago off the north-eastern tip of Sardinia. The archipelago is also known as La Maddalena, and consists of over sixty islands, islets and rocks. In the past the islands have been important strategic naval and military bases; now they are an attractive and fairly low-key holiday destination. La Maddalena is reached by frequent car ferries from the port town of Palau, a journey which takes just twenty minutes. The islands are dotted with old military fortifications and some of these would make interesting sites to visit. The islands’ naval history encompasses a proud defeat of a French assault led by Bonaparte in 1793, a lengthy offshore sojourn by Nelson’s fleet just before its depart to Trafalgar, and a US naval base, closed in 2008.
The most famous attractions are the beautiful unspoiled beaches, the blue seas and the final home of Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, on the island of Caprera which is united to the main island through a long bridge.

About La Maddalena
La Maddalena is an archipelago off Sardinia's north-east coast, a national park of granite islets, pale beaches and turquoise water, with a harbour town.
The La Maddalena archipelago lies in the Strait of Bonifacio, a short ferry ride from Palau on Sardinia's north-east coast. The main island holds the town of La Maddalena, a pastel harbour with a square lined with cafés, and a causeway leads to Caprera, where Giuseppe Garibaldi lived and is buried. The islands form a national park, protected for their granite shores, scrubby maquis and clear sea.
