When tectonic movements separated Corsica from Sardinia, the sea this in the corridor created by the remoteness of the two granitic lands, leaving it to its surface only the highest reliefs. This is how the Maddalena archipelago was born, consisting of seven main islands: The Maddalena, Caprera, Santo Stefano, Spargi, Razzoli, Budelli and Santa Maria, not to mention the myriad of small islands: Mortorio, Soffi, Nibani, Capuccini… The "seven sisters" received the géomarin national park title. With its 12 000 ha and 180 km of coastline, it is the first national park created in Sardinia. It was time because every year the cohorts of tourists landed there, seduced by its granite rocks carved by the wind, its crystalline waters and its small paradise beaches. These beautiful islands are also history lands, marked by events and historical figures as famous as Napoleon, Garibaldi, Nelson or Mussolini.The archipelago is also a superb spot for scuba diving enthusiasts: here huge granitic rocks characterize the landscapes of this bottom-rich background. Among the marine stones are lobster and moray, up to 30 m deep.
