The reverse side of the map covers the southern portion of the region and shows the cities of Cagliari, Oristano, Iglesia, Sant' Antioco, and Tortoli.Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike its sister island Sicily, Sardinia boasts extensive mountain ranges, wide valleys, and broad plateaus. The island is one of the most geologically ancient bodies of land in Europe and unlike Italy and Sicily it is not earthquake-prone. Although Sardinia is surrounded by the clear waters of the Mediterranean, the island itself is relatively dry and has only one natural lake. However, several man-made lakes have been constructed, including Lake Omodeo which was constructed in the 1920's and was for many years the largest reservoir in Europe. Every Adventure Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof, tear-resistant and tough -- capable of withstanding the rigors of international travel.Map Scale = 1:220,000Sheet Size = 37.75" x 25.5"Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.25"
