Finally this year you will be able to make your dream come true: organize a trip to Sardinia ! With its enchanting white beaches, renowned and exclusive locations and an incredible naturalistic context, Sardinia is one of the favorite destinations for summer tourism every year. But it is an island, and this complicates the plans a bit: how to organize a trip to Sardinia? Here are some tips to do it better.
Reaching Sardinia by sea: cruise or ferry?
The first step is to decide how to reach Sardinia , whether by plane or by sea: we recommend the second option, because navigation in itself is already part of the journey! At this point, you have a new fork in front of you: cruise or ferry?
It depends on the type of trip you have in mind: the cruise is exciting and allows you to visit some places, but it is an experience that is mainly lived on board . The moments on the ground are rather short and in any case with deadlines to be respected. If you want to be free to explore the island as you see fit, the ferry is the most suitable option, and in any case you can embark from different ports in Italy , such as Livorno, Genoa and Piombino.

Rent a car
If you don't intend to just go on a beach and sun holiday, then you will need transport on the island for the various trips you have planned. In fact, it is known that Sardinia is not particularly equipped with buses, and that in any case the areas of interest such as lakes, archaeological sites and more hidden beaches cannot be reached by public transport.
Renting a car to get around the island is necessary, unless you left by ferry: in that case you can embark directly with your car and continue to use your vehicle to visit this beautiful island independently.
Go in the low season
It's not always easy, since you often have forced holidays in the middle of August, but if you can, try to leave for Sardinia in the low season .
The ideal would be to prefer periods such as June or September , when the weather is already excellent for enjoying the fantastic beaches of the island, but the tourist flow of the high season has not yet arrived . And trust me, when it's that time of year Sardinia becomes almost impassable! Both for the amount of people in every single point of the island, and for the torrid heat, and for the costs , which during the high season reach truly prohibitive figures.
Our advice is therefore to book in advance for low season periods, in order to enjoy the peace of Sardinia with the warm but not scorching sun and at decidedly more affordable prices. Despite this, don't forget to pack your sunscreen!
