Suitably Sardinia

Secret Sardinia If you can tear yourself away from that emerald coastline, head inland to discover another aspect of the second largest of the Med's islands. Centuries of attack from the sea mean that Sardinians headed for the hills and left the coast alone; there’s a whole different vibe and culture here, a world away from mainland Italy, and a wild landscape that includes stunning valleys and gorges.

Getting there

Holidays in Sardinia, Italy

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
You should have no trouble getting a direct flight to Sardinia. If you’re staying along the Emerald Coast, Olbia or Alghero are the closest airports. Cabs from the airport are cheap, but they sometimes charge extra for luggage: agree the fare before you get in. There are also boats from mainland Italy and from France to Olbia, Alghero and Porto Torres.
Trains
Trains in Sardinia are pretty slow – great for scenic routes but not so good for actually getting anywhere.
Automobiles
Hiring a car is essential if you want to explore the island; check the airport you’re flying to for car rental hire. Smith cardholders get a ten per cent discount; simply quote '635230' when you reserve a car.
