Sardinia on the podium of the most expensive destinations for the 2023 summer season .
This year's holidays «will be remembered as the most expensive ever , thanks to skyrocketing inflation and the high bills that have characterized the last 2 years. The costs of a holiday can reach very high peaks in certain Italian locations», as explained by the president of Assoutenti, Furio Truzzi , illustrating the regional map on the rates of accommodation facilities for the month of August published today by the association.
