Do not hesitate to take the expressway that crosses the island right through, even if it seems like a detour, it is often faster than the small winding roads.

Do

  • Trek
  • Sunbathing on the sandy beaches
  • Scuba diving
  • Windsurfing, the most famous places of practice are: Porto Pollo, Capo Mannu, Alghero Mugoni, Alghero Lido, Coluccia, Platamona, Stintino, Funtana Meiga and Sant Antioco.
  • Climbing, a fairly complete climbing guide is available on Sardinia Climb. There are many climbing sites on the island, athletic and sloping routes mainly on limestone.

Housing

Several accommodation solutions are available in Sardinia, and local tour operators offer a variety of different accommodation options. The advantage is that you book with an agency where the staff speak French, which is a big advantage when you don't speak Italian ... The most common is the agriturismo (well developed on the east coast). The agriturismo is a system of guest rooms in farms or in private homes offering traditional cuisine based on their own products. You can rent a room there for an average of 30 to 50  the night. A good part of the agriturismo also accepts tents and have sanitary facilities available to campers, however, no census exists, it is necessary to inquire on the spot. Note also that agriturismo camping is the cheapest after wild camping. The prices depend completely on the site, the services etc ... Count around for a tent. Campsites are widespread in the northeast and much less in the southwest. In summer they are often full and they tend to inflate prices (15  on average at night in July / August). Agriturismo are often less expensive than campsites and more numerous as well. You can also find a Sardinia Rental.
