Sardinia is a thinly populated island: it has 1.6 million inhabitants on a surface of 25,000 km². The largest population centers are along the coast; only few people live in the interior.
Sardinia is situated south of the French island Corsica and approximately 230 kilometers north of the Tunisian coast. Centrally on the island lies a mountain massif with Punta La Marmora (1,834 m) and the Monte Limbara (1,362 m) as its highest peaks.
Agriculture and stock breeding form an important part of Sardinia's economy. Also many goats and sheep are breaded. The milk is used to make excellent cheese. Furthermore vegetables, citrus fruits and rice are cultivated. The Sardinian wines have an excellent reputation. The fishing industry is not that important, although they do fish for tuna that is mainly exported to Japan. There is also mining industry in Sardinia. Granite, coal, gold and bauxite among others are extracted. Tourism is the most important source of income and employment. Yearly the island attracts about 2.5 million visitors.
Sardinia has three international airports. The airport of Cagliari, Elmas Airport, lies north of the capital, along the main road SS130. The other two airports are mainly used by budget airlines: Alghero in the north-west and Olbia in the north-east (the gateway to the Costa Smeralda).
