About our Adventure
Sardinia (Sardegna) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, located to the west of mainland Italy. Known for its stunning landscapes, it boasts rugged mountains, crystal-clear beaches, and charming villages. Sardinia's history spans thousands of years, with ancient ruins like the Nuragic stone structures and remnants of Phoenician, Roman, and Byzantine influences. The island's culture is rich in traditions, including distinctive music, dance, and cuisine, featuring dishes like porceddu (roast suckling pig) and unique cheeses such as pecorino. Sardinia also has a strong sense of regional identity, with its own language and vibrant festivals.
For someone who has never been to Sardinia, it is worth booking 2-3 places to sleep. For us it was Tertenia, Palau and Alghero, and certainly a rental car. Topographically, Sardinia is a mountainous island with many archipelagos and a huge variety of landscapes. When you choose a location and rent a car, make sure that the exit route is easily accessible, because you can sometimes spend half of your vacation in serpentines. The east of the island is quite quiet for tourists, so if you are looking for a quiet holiday you will not be disappointed. The north is more commercial and more expensive, but with that comes its beauty. The color of the water that can be found there is reminiscent of the tropics and beautiful rocks wonderfully decorate the area.
As every Island there is a many flights and 3 main airports: Cagliari, Alghero, Olbia. In season most of the country's bigger cities have regular flights with Ryanair 2-ce a week. We chose arrival to Cagliari and departure from Alghero to visit as many places as we can. Of course, like every island, it also has many ports. In addition to those where we have airports, there are also Santa Teresa, Porto Torres and many smaller ones such as Palau, Golfo Aranchi and Arbatax, many cruises have offers straight to Sardinia.
