You can reach Sardinia by plane or ferry. The island has three main airports: Cagliari, Olbia, and Alghero, with flights from major European cities. Ferries connect Sardinia to mainland Italy (from cities like Genoa, Livorno, and Civitavecchia), and to Corsica and Spain, making it accessible by car as well.

Renting a car is highly recommended to explore the island’s hidden beaches and charming inland villages. Try local specialties like porceddu (roast suckling pig) and seadas (a cheese-filled pastry with honey). Most locals speak Italian, but you might hear Sardinian dialects too—learning a few words will be appreciated!
