Here in Sardinia, where the sea and sand collide, life is ever charming. Since it's an island that's a fair distance away from mainland Italy, it almost feels like it's in a world of its own. Of course, what helps connect this paradise back to the rest of the world is social media. If you've ever seen some of the most well-known travel Instagrammers online, you'll know that many of them have gone to and posted about Sardinia. And most likely, they took their viral-inducing snapshots in these incredible places that are truly worth capturing.
Bosa
At first glance, you probably can't pinpoint what the beautiful village reminds you of. Does it look like a Gustav Klimt painting? Or a work of Picasso? Surely, if you go to a museum, you'll find the answer, right? In any case, Bosa, as a whole, looks like a work of art. The colorful houses maker for a great Instagram post, showing off the quirky and unique culture here in Sardinia. Of course, you'll need to get to a certain vantage point to really capture its stunning imagery. And you'll probably need to use a
transportation app to get there!

Capo Caccia
When you
land in Sardinia, there's a good chance you might get to Alghero. After all, one of the island's three main airports is located here. And since you're already there, why not check out the Porto Conte Regional Natural Park? Not only does this place boast some of the best beaches on the island, but it's also home to the Capo Caccia viewpoint. Right on the edge of a cliff, you're treated to a stunning view of the Mediterranean sea, particularly of the beautiful rock formation on the island of Foradada. Over the years, it's become a popular selfie spot for honeymooners in Sardinia.

Carloforte
As far as
Sardinian cities go, Carloforte is another charmer you ought to not miss! This coastal town looks like old-school Italy, the type you see in period movies and romantic TV series. Its colorful coast alone, lined with pastel-hued homes and buildings, make for great Instagram-worthy shots already. What more when you go deeper into the city and see the narrow pathways, cobblestone streets, and the like? Not to mention the beautiful beaches that boast clear waters, white sands, and serenity.

Castello Quarter
You can probably already tell from the name alone what to expect! In Cagliari, the capital city of Sardinia, the Castello Quarter is a charming district that harkens back to Medieval Italy. The walled structure reminds you of how most towns of that time were built and the protection they needed. Although the quarter itself looks fascinating from a different vantage point, the views you'll get from this elevated area are also second to none. From here, you get to see the city of Cagliari in all its glory. Wouldn't your Instagram followers love that?

La Pelosa Beach
As far as beaches go, La Pelosa beach in Stintino in Sardinia truly is fascinating. If the white sands and clear waters aren't enough of an Instagram shot for you, the lone Medieval tower on the nearby island will definitely do. It's equal parts scary and exciting as if it's part of a different time and the salty seawater is what's separating present-day to Medieval times. There's also not much that's known about the said tower, making it more eerie yet, at the same time, all the more alluring to explore. Nevertheless, posting this on your Insta will definitely catch some likes!
