La Maddalena Archipelago

The La Maddalena Archipelago is a group of islands northeast of the Italian island of Sardinia.

 

The archipelago consists of seven main islands and numerous smaller islands and is located in the Strait of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia, Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast).

 

The island group is loved by sailors because of the pristine nature and the emerald green waters. The archipelago was housed in 1994 in the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park.

 

The archipelago was already inhabited in ancient times. In Roman times the islands were known as "Cunicularia".
