La Maddalena has undergone several name changes, including Ilva, Fussa, Bucina, Bicinara, and Santa Maria Magdalena, before settling on its current name. While it holds historical significance, La Maddalena is most famous for Napoleon Bonaparte’s unsuccessful attempt to occupy the island in 1793. Today, this island in northern Sardinia is a popular tourist destination known for its stunning clear waters that have a turquoise hue. As it is primarily a summer destination, the recommended times to visit are between October and May. During these shoulder months, the beaches are usually less crowded, making it an ideal time to avoid the crowds.
