Discover San Pietro

San Pietro is an island of 19 square miles off the South coast of Sardinia with a history, people and dialect, not Sardinian, but Ligurian. It is relatively undiscovered and this is why it could be the perfect place to get away and see something new in Italy. Read this Observer travel article for more of a flavour on what to expect if you do get on the 30 minute ferry crossing from Porto Vesme or Calasetta:
