In this stunning drone video of Sardinia, top contributor Dronescapes by Atellani uses his DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone to showcase the beauty of this Italian Mediterranean island. The footage is shot around the northeastern corner of the island, and includes the gorgeous Cugnana mountains and the town of Poltu Quatu.  The highlight is aerial footage of Porto Cervo, a town on the famed Costa Smerelda.  The Hotel Cala di Volpe here was a shooting location for the 11th James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977).  

The Italian island of Sardinia is famous for its stunning coastal scenery, which includes semi-hidden cove beaches and magnificent cliffs and rock formations.  In this video by top AirVuz contributor rcwolf, you'll get to explore the coastline of this legendary Mediterranean island through the lens of a first person view (FPV) drone.  Ride along for some stunning views of Sardinia's rocky shoreline, clear blue waters, and sandy beaches.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in June of 2023.  

AirVuz contributor Sardegna World used a DJI Mavic Pro 3 to create this stunning aerial video of a tiny islet off the large French Mediterranean island of Corsica.  Foradada Island is located just off the western side of Cape Caccia, a peninsula which extends off the island's northwestern coastline near the town of Sassari (the main city of northwestern Corsica).  Just before the 1:50 mark, there's a spectacular shot of the Cape Caccia Lighthouse (with the island in the background); it dates to the 1860's and is still operational.    

Always taking an artistic approach to his drone footage, top contributor Gianlo, who hails from Italy, created this magnificent aerial video of Sardinia's coastline as it was being struck by a strong surf, on a stormy day.  Amongst the views of the craggy coastline and crashing waves stands the ruins of a lighthouse that once watched over the Mediterranean Sea.  Sardinia is a semi-autonomous region of Italy, lying off its western coastline.  It's the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after the island of Sicily.

Contributor Posaticla created this beautiful drone video from two towns on the west coast of Sardinia, a region of Italy which is the second largest island in the Mediterranean.  Alghero is the larger of the two; it's at the base of the Stintino Peninsula, opposite the provincial capital Sassari.  At one time part of the Spanish kingdom of Catalan, it's one of the most visited sites in Sardinia.  Bosa is a much smaller town, it lies some ways south on the road to Oristano, the main city on the island's west coast.

One of the best known parts of Italy's Sardinia is La Maddalena Archipelago, a group of seven islands which sit off of the Costa Smeralda area at the northern end of the main island.  The Maddalena islands are known for their clear waters which are ideal for snorkeling.  It's also a major wildlife area and has submitted for designation as a UNESCO World Heritage natural site.  Laurent Paris created this beautiful drone video of these magnificent islands in the Mediterranean.  

Check out these breathtaking drone views of a tiny island off the larger Italian island of Sardinia, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Sardegna World.  Tavolara Island is located off of Sardinia's northeastern coast in the Tyrrhenian Sea (a large inlet of the Mediterranean), near the southern entrance to the Gulf of Olbia.  About two miles (3 km) long by .6 mi. (a km) wide, and largely surrounded by cliffs, the island has only a few inhabitants; most were cleared in the 1960's to make way for a NATO radio listening station.  

Prepare to be amazed by this first person view (FPV) drone video from the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, compliments of top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot salva.tours.  The video was filmed near Porto Flavio, a harbor town on the (relatively sparsely populated) western coast of the island, the second-largest in the Mediterranean Sea.  In the video, you'll see what's left of a loading terminal built into a sheer cliff; built in the 1920's, it's a relic of Sardinia's long mining legacy.  

The Italian island of Sardinia is known in part for its beaches, and in this drone video by contributor Guido you'll get a bird's eye view of one of its most well known.  Chia is a small town at the very southern tip of the island, in the province of South Sardinia.  It's about an hour's drive southwest of Cagliari, the regional capital and the largest city on the island.  In addition to its pristine beaches, travelers to the area can visit the Nora archaeological site, the oldest known human settlement in Sardinia.

In this video, contributor and drone pilot Chir72 gives us a beautiful bird's eye view of one of the most famous beaches on the Italian island of Sardinia.  Pelosa Beach is near the tip of the Stintino Peninsula, which juts out into the Mediterranean from the northwest part of the island.  With stunningly clear blue waters, the beach affords a view of the small islands which lie just offshore.  The beach is accessible from Porto Torres, the main seaport on the northern part of the island.

The western coast of Sardinia is characterized by many bays and inlets, and it's home to some of the finest beaches on this Italian island in the western Mediterranean Sea.  Cala Domestica is one of these beaches.  It sits in one of the bays in a fairly remote area on the southwestern part of the island, just off the SP 83 road south of Buggerru.  In this video, contributor and drone pilot AD Drone gives us a bird's eye view of this magnificent beach, surrounded by the cliffs and hills of the mountainous island.  

Contributor Maxwa put his DJI Mavic Air drone to excellent use creating this marvelous aerial video of Sardinia, the large island off the western coast of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea.  Filmed in brilliant 4k, the video does an excellent job of bringing out some of the unique colors of this island, the second-largest in the Mediterranean after Sicily (both in terms of land area and population).   The video combines great aerial footage and adds some nice editing touches such as timelapse sequences.  

While Sardinia is perhaps best known for its sun-drenched beaches, this outstanding drone video by top AirVuz contributor salva.tours will give you a different yet equally stunning view of the large Italian island.  The video was shot during the wintertime over and around Monte Novo San Giovanni in the island's interior.  Located near the town of Orgosolo in the east-central part of Sardinia, the table-shaped mountain has a peak elevation of just over 4.3k ft. above sea level or around 1.2k m.  

The Italian island of Sardinia is known for its beaches.  In this drone video by Dr. Jffry, you'll be treated to aerial views of two beach spots, both of which lie along the Sardinia's northeastern coastline.  The first is the area around Capo Coda, which is a sparsely-populated peninsula situated just a few km/mi to the southeast of Olbia, the main settlement of northeastern Sardinia.  The second spot is San Teodoro, a small town which lies a bit further to the south.   The video was filmed in 4k with a DJI Mavic Air 2 drone.

The Mediterranean island of Sardinia (a region of Italy) was home to some of  the most important mining activity in Europe for centuries.  Most closely associated with silver, it later became an important source of lead extraction.  While the island's mines have been shuttered, mining remains an important part of its heritage, and the  abandoned mines have become tourist attractions.  In this drone video by AD Drone, you'll get a bird's eye view of the Montevecchio Mine, one of Sardinia's most famous.

Contributor Sergio Madau used a drone to create this beautiful aerial tour of the southwestern corner of the Italian island of Sardinia.  The area is called the Iglesiente.  It covers parts of two provinces and is known for its spectacular coastal rock formations and structures built into the stone.  Just offshore there are even more stunning rock formations, and the coastline abounds with small lagoons.  Even on a famously boating-friendly island, it's a standout spot for docking a boat to enjoy some aquatic activities.  

Contributor Welldrone used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this stunning aerial video of a number of spots in southern and western Sardinia, the large Mediterranean island situated west of the Italian mainland.  The areas covered include (1) Cabras, a small town on the Cabras "pond" midway down the islands's west coast; (2) S'Archittu, another small town a bit north on the coast from Cabras; and (3) Piscinas, a small inland town in southwestern Sardinia on the SS293 road.

Ogliastra was a historical province of the Italian island of Sardinia.  Situated on the eastern side of the second-largest island in the Mediterranean, the region covers some of its most mountainous territory.  In 2016, the province was partitioned out of existence, most of it joined the province of Nuoro to the north while a small part became part of the province of South Sardinia.  Contributor Guido put together this beautiful 4k drone video of this beautiful region on this ancient island.  

Top contributor electriclife created this beautiful aerial video of the northern part of Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea which lies off the western coast of Italy.  Using footage shot with both a DJI Inspire 2 and a Mavic Pro 2, this piece will treat you to bird's eye views of some of the most well-known spots on this ancient island.  Featured locations include Costa Smeralda, the old Capo Ferro lighthouse, Monte Moro, the Isola Cappuccini, the Mortorio Island, and Soffi Island.

Prepare to be amazed by these drone views of a town on the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, compliments of former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Marco Miele.  Castelsardo lies on the Gulf of Asinara, roughly in the middle of the island's northwestern coast.  The town sits just below a hilltop castle which dates to the 12th or 13th century AD. Part of the province of Sassari, which covers roughly the northern third of Sardinia, Castelsardo has a population of roughly 6k permanent residents.  

Sardinia is actually a region of Italy composed of the main island of the same name and several surrounding islands.  The largest of these satellite islands is Sant'Antioco, which lies just a short distance off the southwestern coast of the main island.  The island is believed to have been settled as long as 7k years ago.  Known as Sulci during the Antiquity, it was involved in the very bloody civil war that raged between Pompeii and Caesar for control of Rome in the first century BC.

Check out this drone video of a well-known beach on the Italian island of Sardinia, compliments of azzurrro1. It's called Spiaggia della Pelosa, and it's located on the eastern side of the Stintino Peninsula, a cape off the northwestern corner of the island.  It's considered one of the finest beaches on the island, which is known for having some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean.  The beach is distringuished by a landmark 16th century watchtower known as the Torre della Pelosa, which you'll see in the video.  

With its crystal blue waters and secluded coves and beaches, it's no wonder that the Italian island of Sardinia is one of the most popular sailing destinations in the Mediterranean.  Whether it's the glamorous Costa Smeralda on the northeastern part of the island, the La Maddalena Archipelago off Sardinia's northern tip, or the more rugged spots along the island's jagged western coast, this is definitely a sailor's paradise.  In this drone video by vagamundo, you'll get an aerial glimpse of Sardinia's epic sailing scene.  

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot salva.tours brings us this stunning coastal FPV piece from a famous beach on the Italian island of Sardinia.  It's called Cala Luna, and it's located at the head of the Gulf of Orosei, a shallow bay which runs along the center part of the island's eastern coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea (the inlet of the Mediterranean which separates Sardinia from the Italian mainland).  It is widely considered to be one of the finest if not the finest beach on the island.  

Former DVOW Finalist Marco Miele brings us this excellent drone video from a trip to the northwestern coast of the Italian island of Sardinia.  The first location shown after the opening sequence is the area around Capo Testa near the island's northern tip, including the cape's lighthouse and the town of Santa Teresa Gallura.  Then you'll head southwest to Castelsardo, a town built on a hill on the Gulf of Asinaro.  At the 1:40 mark, you'll see Isola Rossa, followed by the Stentino Peninsula, Capo Caccia, and Isola Foradada

Take in these magnificent first person view (FPV) drone views from the coast of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, compliments of top AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot salva.tours.  The video was filmed over a stretch of coast around Cala Goloritze, a famous beach area which lies roughly halfway down the island's long eastern coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea, a large inlet of the Mediterranean which is formed by the mainland of Italy in the east and the islands of Sardinia, Corsica, and Sicily to the west and south. 

Italy's Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea; only Sicily is larger in land area or population.  While it's perhaps best known for its famous beaches, in this outstanding drone video by top AirVuz contributor salva.tours, you'll see a very different side to the island: a mountainous, snow-covered land.  In fact, much of the interior of the island is covered by a series of mountain chains, which reach altitudes of up to 6k ft. above sea level (around 1.8k m), and these areas see extensive winter snowfall.

The Italian island of Sardinia spent the late Middle Ages and most of the Early Modern period under control of Spain, first the Kingdom of Aragon and later the modern Spanish nation-state.  In 1595, the Spanish overlords constructed a tower near Issola Rosa, on the island's northern coast.  Its purpose was to observe and combat the piracy which was rampant in this part of the Mediterranean.  You can see this impressive landmark from above in this drone video by Energy Butterfly.  

The Italian island of Sardinia can't really be called "undiscovered" - it's home to over 1.5 million permanent residents and receives roughly twice that many tourist arrivals per year.  That being said, by far its most populated and tourist-heavy areas are on its northern coasts, notably on the northeastern Costa Smerelda and the northwestern Stentino Peninsula.  In this drone video by emanuelepinna, you'll get some great aerial views of a much quieter side of Sardinia - its southern coastline.  

Asinara is a tiny island off the much larger Italian island of Sardinia.  Virtually uninhabited, it covers an area of about 20 square mi. or around 55 square km.  Seen in this drone video by talented AirVuz contributor Marco Miele, all of Asinara Island is now a nature preserve, and part of the country's national parks system.  The second-largest of Sardinia's "satellite" islands (after Sant'Antioco) it's separated from the Sardinian "mainland" by two narrow gulfs which surround the tiny Isola Piana just to Asinara's south.  

Contributor Marco Miele created this beautiful drone video of a beach on the island of Sant'Antioco, a small "satellite" of the Italian island of Sardinia.  Sant'Antioco lies just off the southwestern tip of the Sardinian "mainland", to which it is connected by causeway.  The area shown in the video is called Cala Sapone, and it's situated on the western side of Sant'Antioco.  With its wildly-shaped coastline and offshore rocks, the coastline of Sardinia's largest "satellite" island resembles the western coastline of the main island itself. 

One of the fascinating things about the Italian island of Sardinia is just how long this place has been inhabited by semi-civilized humans.  In this drone video by Sergio Madau, you'll get a bird's eye view of one of these sites: Nuraghe Seruci.  Located in the commune of Gonnesa on its southwestern shore, it consists of the remains of a tower and village built by the Nuragic Civilization, a bronze-age culture which existed here from around 1800 BC (ie, centuries before the founding of Rome) to the 3rd century BC.  

Top AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot salva.tours brings us this stuinning FPV coastal cruising piece from Italy's San Pietro Island.  San Pietro is a small satellite island of Sardinia, the Mediterranean's second-largest island after Sicily.  San Pietro, which covers a land area of about 20 square mi. (around 51 square km), is situated off Sardinia's southwesern coast.   The video incudes some great footage of the rock columns near Carloforte, the island's main settlement, on the eastern coastline.  

Take an aerial tour of Sardinia in this excellent piece by contributor and drone pilot WidziszTo.com.  The video features footage from a range of spots in this large Italian Mediterranean island.  Some of the highlights include great aerial shots of the town of Castelsardo on Sardinia's northern coast, which is home to a hilltop castle you'll see at around the :30 mark.  At the :41 mark, you'll see the watchtower which lies just a few m/km from La Pelosa Beach, near the northern tip of the island. 

Check out this nicely captioned drone video of some of the most beautiful beaches on the Italian island of Sardinia, compliments of contributor ufly drones.  The video features footage of the following locations: La Pelosa on the Stentino Peninsula, off the island's northwestern coast; Tavolara in Salina Bamba, on the northeastern coast; Li Cossi in Cala Paradiso, also on the northeastern coast; and Cala Dragunara and Capo Galera in Alghero, on the northwestern coast, south of Stentino.

See the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia by drone in this spectacular travel film by pilot gabriele gatti. The second-largest Mediterranean isle is known for its rugged landscapes and gorgeous beaches, like the ones you see in this film. Some of our favorite locations include: the ancient caves that lie in the belly of the island like Neptune Caves; the Quattro More, or the Four Moors, located near the Port of Livorno that dates back to the Renaissance period; and the many wide shots of the islands staggering coastline. 

Take a tour of an enchanting village on the Italian island of Sardinia in this first person view (FPV) drone video by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot FPVFlow.  The town of Bosa is located on the western (and far less populated) side of the island, the second-largest in the Mediterranean Sea.  The town is located on a small hill above the Temo River, in the province of Oristano.  The town has a permanent population of about 8k.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in early December of 2021.  

In this fanastic first person view (FPV) drone video by new contributor Sardegna World, you'll get a highly cinematic FPV of the area around Capo Figari, a peninsula which extends off of the island's northeastern coastline.  In the video, you'll cruise along a spectacular moutain ridge and in a single shot dive down to the shoreline of the Gulf of Olbia.  In the second shot, you'll head across a few hundred yards/meters of open water to reach the tiny uninhabited Figarolo Island, at the northeastern entrance to the Gulf of Olbia.  

To see why the Italian island of Sardinia is becoming something of a magnet for adventurous first person view (FPV) drone pilots, check out this fantastic video by AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot Sardegna World.  It was filmed skimming along Doctor's Beach (Spiaggia del dottore).  The beach lies on the southern side of Cape Ceraso, the northern side of which forms part of the Gulf of Olbia.  As you'll see in the video, there's not a soul in sight, allowing this skilled pilot to take full advantage of the spectacular coastal scenery.  

Take a tour of Sardinia in this excellent travel video by AirVuz contributors Robert & Monika Photography. Some of the video's highlights include the marina at the Isola Rosa on the island's northwestern coast (at the :14 mark); the Castle of Serravalle in Bosa, on Sardinia's western side (:35); a ruined castle atop a conical hill in Las Plassas, in the southern part of the island (:38); some Nuragic civilization ruins (1:03); the hilltop town of Castelsardo, on Sardinia's northern coast (1:28); and more.

The Italian island of Sardinia is known in part for its legendary yachting scene.  In this amazing first person view (FPV) drone video by top AirVuz contributor salva.tours, you will follow a 65 foot power yacht as it cruises the waters around northern Sardinia.  The video was filmed around the island of Caprera, a "satellite" which is located just north of the much larger Sardinia.  The yacht is a Moira Model 65, which is made by the Italian shipyard Cantieri di Sarnico.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list.  

Top contributor and first person view (FPV) drone pilot salva.tours brings us this outstanding FPV video from a famous beach on the Italian island of Sardinia.  It's called Su Giudeu Beach, and it's located one of of the peninsulas at the southern tip of the island, about an hour's drive south of Cagliari (the main city of southern Sardinia).  In a single shot, you'll cruise along the the mains stretch of the beach, skimming just inches about the water, then turn out to sea to fly between the two tiny islands which lie just offshore.  

Enjoy these stunning aerial views of the Italian seaside town of Calasetta, compliments of AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Marco Miele.  Calasetta is located at the northern tip of Sant'Antioco, a satellite of the much larger island of Sardinia (Italy's, and the Mediterranean's, second-largest after Sicily).  Part of the province of South Sardinia, Calasetta has a permanent population of around 3k residents.  The town was founded in the late 18th century.  It's connected to the "mainland" of Sardinia via causeway.  

AirVuz contributor and first person view (FPV) pilot FPVFlow used a 7 inch FPV drone to create this fantastic coastal cruising piece from the Mediteranean Sea.  The video was shot off the coast of Isola di Figarolo, a small island which lies off the coast of the larger Italian island of Sardinia, near the Gulf of Arancia in the northeastern part of Sardinia.   Stunningly cinematic, this video was picked by the AirVuz editorial staff as a Finalist for the Drone Video of the Week contest in August, 2021.  

Check out these fantastic first person view (FPV) drone video from the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia, compliments of AirVuz contributor and FPV pilot salva.tours.  The video was shot over the municipality of Baunei, which lies roughly midway down the island's eastern (Tyrrhenian Sea) coastline.  It's a relatively pristine stretch of coastline, well to the south of the popular beach areas on the island's northeastern side.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in July of 2022.   

For a first upload, brand-new contributor richardgeres brings us this excellent first person view (FPV) drone video from the Italian island of Sardinia.  The video features footage from the following locations: Baunei, a town about mid-way down Sardinia's eastern coast; the beach of Cala Goritzie, near Baunei; Porto Cervo, near Sardinia's northern tip; the satellite islands of La Maddalena and Caprera; Castelsardo; Bosa; Columbargia; the Gulf of Oristano; Pan di Zucchero; Is Loddis; and Turi, on the satellite island of Sant'Antioco.

For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor shotbyugo brings us this excellent drone video from the Italian island of Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily.  Starting at about the :18 mark, there's a nice shot of the town of Bosa and the medieval Castle of Serravalle which overlooks it; Bosa is located about a third of the way down the island's western coast.   You'll also fly over some of the mountains which cover much of the island's interior.  

Top AirVuz contributor Marco Miele brings us this stunning drone video from the northwestern coast of the Italian island of Sardinia.  The video was shot over Capo Testa, a peninsula connected to the island by a narrow isthmus.  At the 1:08 mark, you'll see the cape's small (namesake) settlement, which lies on its eastern side, closest to the "mainland" of Sardinia.  Other highlights include some brilliant shots of the Capo Testa Lighthouse (Faro di Capo Testa) at the northern tip of the island, seen at 1:25 and again at 1:39.  

The Italian island of Sardinia is known as one of the world's most colorful spots.  Along its nearly 2k km (around 1.2k mi.) coastline are countless places where the island's distinctive-looking cliffs, rock formations, and cove-like hidden beaches present a beautiful contrast with its spectacularly blue-green waters.  In this drone video by TadejT, you'll get a nice aerial survey of this beautiful island off the coast of western Italy, the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily.
