The authorities manage them through an app, charge fees and enforce strict rules (such as compulsory mats under your towel to stop the sand being damaged).<\/li><li><strong>A car is a must:<\/strong> Public transport on the island is fairly limited.

These are mysterious Bronze Age stone structures you genuinely won&#8217;t find anywhere else in the world.<\/li><li><strong>When to go:<\/strong> The best <strong>weather in Sardinia<\/strong> is said to come in June and September. The sea is pleasantly warm by then, but you&#8217;ll dodge the August crowd chaos and the extreme prices.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Visit_Sardinia\"><\/span>When to Visit Sardinia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting the timing right is absolutely key to a successful trip, because the island changes quite dramatically over the course of the year. Let&#8217;s look at <strong>when to go to Sardinia<\/strong> so you get the most out of your stay and avoid any nasty surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring months like April and May bring very pleasant air temperatures of <strong>around 18 to 23 degrees<\/strong>, which makes for absolutely ideal conditions for hiking and exploring the sights. The sea, however, is still quite cool at this time, usually sitting between 15 and 19 degrees, so <strong>swimming is really only for the hardiest souls<\/strong>. On the upside, the landscape is beautifully green and full of wildflowers in this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real <strong>beach season kicks off in June<\/strong>, when temperatures climb towards 28 degrees and the sea warms up to a lovely 22 degrees. Travellers generally rate June as one of the best months to visit, since the island isn&#8217;t yet bursting at the seams but the summer mood is already in full swing. <strong>July and August, by contrast, are the absolute peak<\/strong> of the season, with temperatures routinely topping 30 degrees and water as warm as a bath. Just be prepared for an enormous influx of tourists, packed beaches and accommodation that can easily cost a hundred percent more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An absolutely critical date is <strong>15 August, the Italian holiday of Ferragosto<\/strong>. Pretty much all of Italy is on holiday then, and it becomes practically impossible to park or find a free table in a restaurant. September, on the other hand, is <strong>many travellers&#8217; secret tip<\/strong>. After the hot summer, the sea stays a fantastic 24 degrees, the crowds gradually thin out and air temperatures settle at a far more bearable 27 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Sardinia\"><\/span>How to Get to Sardinia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to the island takes a little planning, but thanks to growing competition between carriers it&#8217;s now fairly easy and affordable. It just comes down to whether you&#8217;d rather <strong>fly in quickly<\/strong> or make a road trip of it and <strong>bring your own car<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_air\"><\/span>By air<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fastest way to travel is, of course, by plane. The island is served by three main international airports: Cagliari in the south, Olbia in the northeast and pretty Alghero in the northwest. If you&#8217;re hunting for <strong>flights to Sardinia<\/strong> from the UK, there are plenty of options in summer. Carriers such as easyJet, Ryanair and British Airways run seasonal routes from London airports to Cagliari and Olbia, while Alghero is a brilliant gateway for exploring the northwest coast. Booking a few months ahead usually nets you the best fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_ferry\"><\/span>By ferry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For anyone who wants to crisscross the island in their own car or campervan, the <strong>ferry to Sardinia<\/strong> is the ideal choice. Boats sail from several Italian ports, with the busiest routes running from Livorno, Genoa or Civitavecchia. The crossing <strong>from Livorno to Olbia<\/strong> is usually the cheapest and takes roughly 7 to 10 hours, so plenty of people cleverly opt for overnight crossings with the option of booking a cabin. If you fancy combining a visit to more than one island, there&#8217;s also a fantastic and fast connection from neighbouring Corsica. The hop from the French town of Bonifacio to Santa Teresa Gallura in Sardinia takes just 50 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Car_hire_and_the_tricky_ZTL_zones\"><\/span>Car hire and the tricky ZTL zones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A holiday in Sardinia is practically <strong>impossible without a car<\/strong>, because while buses reliably connect the larger towns, sadly they won&#8217;t get you to the most beautiful hidden beaches. You can easily hire a car right at the airports, but it pays to watch out for a few pitfalls. Forums have long warned about certain budget rental companies that put fairly aggressive pressure on you to buy expensive insurance add-ons if you don&#8217;t happen to own a classic credit card. Local companies tend to be noticeably more relaxed about debit cards, and always <strong>photograph the car in detail when you pick it up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay close attention to traffic restrictions in towns. The abbreviation <strong>ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato)<\/strong> marks zones with restricted access into historic centres. These areas are ruthlessly monitored by cameras, and unauthorised entry \u2014 even for just a few seconds while innocently turning around \u2014 means an <strong>automatic fine of between 80 and 200 euros<\/strong>. If you see an illuminated sign reading &#8220;Varco Attivo&#8221;, it means the zone is active and entry is forbidden. Trust me, the best strategy is always to park nicely on the outskirts and walk into the centre instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Sardinia\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Sardinia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right base is absolutely fundamental to a happy trip, because the island is far bigger than it looks on a map. Driving from one end to the other can easily eat up hours, so for a shorter stay it&#8217;s always best to <strong>pick one region<\/strong> and really enjoy it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The northeast, around the <strong>Costa Smeralda and Gallura<\/strong>, is considered the most luxurious \u2014 and, honestly, the most expensive \u2014 part of the island. You&#8217;ll find the most exclusive resorts here, along with a superb launch point for boat trips to the La Maddalena archipelago, but you&#8217;ll have to dig deeper into your pocket. The northwest, with Alghero&#8217;s airport, offers absolutely <strong>excellent value for money<\/strong> alongside gorgeous historic towns. The east coast around the resort of Cala Gonone, meanwhile, is a paradise for lovers of untouched nature, dramatic cliffs and more demanding treks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The south of the island, <strong>around the capital Cagliari<\/strong>, is often unfairly overlooked by tourists, even though it&#8217;s said to hide the very best beaches in the Chia and Villasimius areas. Anyone seeking absolute peace and an authentic taste of Sardinian culture should head for the mountainous interior. There you&#8217;ll come across <strong>traditional stone villages and so-called agriturismi<\/strong> \u2014 romantic farms offering accommodation and fantastic home cooking at very reasonable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Specific accommodation tips<\/strong> across the regions (check prices and availability on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, and book early in high season):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Villa%20Las%20Tronas&#038;address=Alghero%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Villa Las Tronas<\/a> <em>(Alghero)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Su%20Gologone%20Experience%20Hotel&#038;address=Oliena%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Su Gologone Experience Hotel<\/a> <em>(Oliena)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Nuraghe%20Arvu&#038;address=Cala%20Gonone%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Nuraghe Arvu<\/a> <em>(Cala Gonone)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Cala%20Cuncheddi&#038;address=Olbia%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Cala Cuncheddi<\/a> <em>(Olbia)<\/em><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-na-sardinii&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Nautilus&#038;address=Villasimius%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Nautilus<\/a> <em>(Villasimius)<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Southern_Sardinia_5_Things_to_See_in_and_Around_Cagliari\"><\/span>Southern Sardinia: 5 Things to See in and Around Cagliari<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The southern part of the island offers a fascinating <strong>mix of ancient history<\/strong>, lively city life and sprawling beaches that, judging by the photos, more than hold their own against the most celebrated bays in the north.

This old fortified district is surrounded by massive walls and made up of a tangle of narrow lanes, above which rise the 14th-century Pisan towers of Torre dell&#8217;Elefante and Torre di San Pancrazio.

The most comfortable is an <strong>excursion boat straight from the harbour<\/strong> in Alghero. The second, far more adventurous route goes by land and involves <strong>descending the so-called Goat Steps<\/strong>, of which exactly 654 are carved into the sheer rock face.

To protect the vanishing sand, the authorities have made it compulsory to <strong>place a special firm mat under your towel<\/strong>, which you can readily buy nearby. Anyone laying a towel directly on the sand is asking for a fine of up to 100 euros. You&#8217;ll also pay an entry fee of around 3.50 euros and are required to rinse your feet before leaving the beach. A <strong>strict daily limit of 1,500 visitors<\/strong> applies here, so you&#8217;d best book your slot well in advance through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiaggialapelosa.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official Spiaggia La Pelosa booking system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18_Asinara_National_Park_and_the_white_donkeys\"><\/span>18.

Until the late 1990s, this island served as a kind of <strong>Italian Alcatraz<\/strong>.

The mountain region of Barbagia and agriturismo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Barbagia region<\/strong> is the very soul of the island. Its name was reportedly given by the ancient Romans, who never managed to fully subdue this area of dense forests and steep mountains and therefore branded the locals barbarians. The landscape is dominated by the <strong>Gennargentu massif<\/strong>, with Sardinia&#8217;s highest peak, Punta La Marmora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"762\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25.jpg\" alt=\"The Gennargentu mountains in the inland Barbagia region\" class=\"wp-image-227838\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25-700x278.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25-768x305.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25-1536x610.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25-696x276.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-25-1392x552.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Gennargentu mountains in the inland Barbagia region<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Travellers rave that the best way to get to know this area is to <strong>stay at a traditional agriturismo<\/strong>. These family farms offer not only peaceful accommodation in nature but, above all, unforgettable evening feasts full of local ingredients. Just be prepared for the fact that dinners here are served as a <strong>fixed multi-course menu<\/strong> and usually don&#8217;t start until around half past eight in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Taste_in_Sardinia\"><\/span>What to Taste in Sardinia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sardinian cuisine differs quite a lot from classic Italian <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Fare Bare - d\u011btsk\u00e9 barefoot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/fare-bare-detske-barefoot\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">fare<\/a>, because it <strong>stems from the pastoral traditions<\/strong> of the rugged interior, rather than just from fishing as you might expect from an island. The food here is very hearty, built on <strong>quality local ingredients<\/strong> and herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vegetarian_specialities\"><\/span>Vegetarian specialities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If, like us, you tend to seek out meat-free dishes, you&#8217;ll be delighted on the island. The absolute highlight is the local <strong>pasta called culurgiones<\/strong>. These are beautifully braided parcels filled with a mixture of potato, fresh mint and pecorino cheese, most often served with a simple tomato sauce. An utterly typical accompaniment to every meal is the <strong>thin, crispy bread pane carasau<\/strong>, affectionately nicknamed &#8220;music paper&#8221;. Shepherds used to take it into the mountains because it kept for long months, and it can be soaked in sauce to make the excellent dish <em>pane frattau<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For dessert, it would be a sin to skip <strong>seadas<\/strong>. These are large fried pastry parcels filled with young stretchy cheese, generously drizzled while still warm with <strong>bittersweet Sardinian honey<\/strong>, often from the flowers of the wild strawberry tree. A great side to many dishes is a refreshing <strong>salad of thinly sliced raw artichokes<\/strong>, called <em>insalata di carciofi<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traditional_meat_and_fish_dishes\"><\/span>Traditional meat and fish dishes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To round out the overall picture of Sardinian gastronomy, it&#8217;s only fair to mention that a great symbol of the island&#8217;s cuisine is <strong>porceddu<\/strong>, a suckling pig spit-roasted for several hours over a fire of fragrant myrtle and <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Juniper hotel\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/juniper-hotel\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">juniper<\/a> wood. Among seafood, <strong>bottarga<\/strong> is renowned \u2014 dried and grated mullet roe, known as Sardinian caviar. Locals love to add it to a couscous-like pasta called <em>fregola<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sardinian_wines_and_liqueurs\"><\/span>Sardinian wines and liqueurs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The local wines tend to be quite robust and strong. The king of the reds is the <strong>Cannonau grape<\/strong>, which reportedly contains an unusually high amount of antioxidants and is often credited with a share in that famous Sardinian longevity. Among the white wines, the wonderfully fresh <em>Vermentino<\/em> dominates, especially the one from the Gallura area. To finish off every dinner, a chilled shot of <strong>mirto<\/strong> automatically lands on the table \u2014 a very strong herbal liqueur made from the berries of the ever-present myrtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Tips_to_Finish\"><\/span>Practical Tips to Finish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So that nothing catches you off guard during your dream stay, it pays to know <strong>a few basic practical pointers<\/strong>, whether they concern your wallet, your safety or the mistakes we tourists so often repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Budget_and_prices_%E2%80%94_is_Sardinia_expensive\"><\/span>Budget and prices \u2014 is Sardinia expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t lie to you, Sardinia isn&#8217;t exactly among the cheapest destinations, but with a bit of planning it can be done for reasonable money. A daily budget usually sits somewhere <strong>between 100 and 250 euros per person<\/strong>, depending on your travel style. By far the priciest is a stay in the northeast around the Costa Smeralda, in July and August, when accommodation prices can easily shoot up by 100 percent. You&#8217;ll save significantly by travelling in June or September, staying inland and eating at local family-run pizzerias. Don&#8217;t forget to add <strong>parking fees at the beaches<\/strong> to your budget \u2014 these can easily be 2 euros an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_and_health\"><\/span>Safety and health<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The island is reportedly considered a genuinely <strong>very safe destination<\/strong> with minimal crime, and the standard European emergency number 112 works here. You need to be more careful of the natural <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Elements Hotel&amp;Spa\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/elements-hotelspa\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">elements<\/a>. The summer sun is extremely strong here, so <strong>quality sunscreen and shelter from the midday heat<\/strong> are an absolute must. Unpleasant jellyfish can sometimes appear in the sea, and if you get stung, it&#8217;s recommended not to rinse <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Spot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/the-spot-2\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">the spot<\/a> with fresh water but to wash it thoroughly with salty seawater and scrape off any tentacle remains with a stiff card. Have great respect, too, for the strong mistral wind, which can whip up dangerously large waves, so always keep an eye on the warning flags on the beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_most_common_visitor_mistakes\"><\/span>The most common visitor mistakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the very biggest blunders is <strong>underestimating distances<\/strong>. The island doesn&#8217;t exactly have model motorways \u2014 plenty of roads are full of bends, and covering sixty kilometres can easily take an hour and a half in the mountains. Another mistake is trying to circle this enormous island in a single week, since it&#8217;s far better to <strong>pick one base<\/strong> and properly explore its surroundings. In summer it&#8217;s also foolish to arrive at popular beaches around midday, because the car parks are bursting at the seams before twelve. And of course, always check whether your dream beach requires that online booking, so you don&#8217;t make the journey for nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Next\"><\/span>Where to Next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If island life in the Mediterranean appeals to you and you&#8217;re wondering where to head for your <strong>next adventure<\/strong>, we&#8217;ve got several more pieces of inspiration for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The island just across the strait offers a completely different atmosphere \u2014 read our detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/corsica-france-things-to-do\/\">guide to Corsica<\/a>.<\/li><li>For lovers of extreme mountain hiking, we&#8217;ve written up our experiences and advice for the famous Corsican <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/gr20-corsica-trek\/\">GR20 trek<\/a>.<\/li><li>If you prefer a cooler climate and dramatic history, take a look at our itinerary for a <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/normandy-brittany-road-trip-itinerary\/\">road trip through Normandy and Brittany<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_for_a_vacation_in_Sardinia\"><\/span>When is the best time for a vacation in Sardinia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The best combination of warm sea, bearable air temperatures and especially smaller crowds is offered by the <strong>months of June and September<\/strong>.
