Punta Trettu, in Sardinia's south-west, has become one of Europe's preferred summer kite destinations because of its enormous shallow flat-water lagoon. The Mistral wind blows reliably from the north-west between May and September at 15-22 knots, and the water is warm Mediterranean. The flat lagoon is paradise for learners and freestylers, the Italian food and culture is right there, and it's a 2-hour flight from most European cities.
