Asinara full day excursion.

The island of Asinara, at just under 18 km long and up to 6km wide, is situated in the municipality of Porto Torres (Sassari): in its compact size it manages to be one of the most evocative islands of the Mediterranean, having maintained its naturalistic charm unchanged. Its use as a penal colony for many years fortunately meant that it kept the number of visitors to an absolute minimum, favouring the preservation of its precious but delicate natural environment. It has been a National Park since 1997, and frequent destination of brief cruises along the coast.
The panorama is decidedly variegated and the presence of a holm oak wood in the Vallombrosa enriches the characteristic vegetation of the Mediterranean brush, that also has examples of rare species like Evax rotundata and Nananthea perpusilla: specimens which enchant the enthusiastic botanist. Among the animals that live there, besides the albino donkeys, are numerous sea birds, mouflon and wild boars.
