    Set on n Isola di Spargi in Sardinia's Maddalena Archipelago is Cala Granara, another stunning beach that you could easily be forgiven thinking you were on a tropical island. Backed by lush island plants and palm trees, it is quite unusual in that most Italian beaches are backed by rugged cliffs.
