Charming Port City With Breathtaking Nature

The Coast of the Rich and Beautiful

Fabulous Stalactite Cave by the Sea
Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, blends Mediterranean charm with a touch of city life. You’ll find a romantic old town, a scenic harbor perfect for evening strolls, and a wide selection of beaches just minutes away. It’s the best of both worlds—vacation town meets island vibe. Don’t miss the historic Castello district, perched dramatically on a hill and wrapped in centuries-old stone walls.
Known as one of Sardinia’s most stunning coastlines, Costa Smeralda lives up to its name with emerald-green waters, glamorous resorts, and world-class dining. This stretch of the island is a magnet for celebrities and luxury travelers—but also home to some of Sardinia’s most beautiful beaches. Whether you're indulging in elegance or soaking up the coastal views, this is a must on any Sardinia travel itinerary.
Near the town of Alghero lies Neptune’s Grotto, a dramatic sea cave filled with stalactites and underground chambers. Reach it via the Escala del Cabirol—a winding staircase of 654 steps carved into a cliff—or skip the climb and arrive by boat. However you get there, the view inside is well worth the trip.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site dates back to the 12th century BCE and features prehistoric stone towers from the ancient Nuragic civilization. Located on a hillside, these megalithic structures remain a mystery: Were they temples, homes, tombs, or fortresses? Su Nuraxi is a fascinating stop for anyone curious about Sardinia’s ancient past.
Located near the town of Pula, Nora is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Sardinia. Founded by the Phoenicians and later inhabited by Carthaginians and Romans, its ruins date back to the 9th century BCE. With a guide, you can explore Roman villas, thermal baths, mosaics, temples, and a remarkably preserved theater—offering a glimpse into centuries of Mediterranean history.
Scattered across Sardinia, these ancient burial chambers—known as “Fairy Houses”—date back as far as 3000–4000 BCE. With over 1,000 sites identified across the island, the western region around Sassari is home to some of the most accessible ones. Look for signs along the roadside to discover these mystical, carved-out tombs from Sardinia’s prehistoric past.
The main tourist season in Sardinia is between May and October. Then it is warm to hot in summer, ideal for a beach vacation. Most tourists visit the island in July and August. The months of April, May and October, when the temperatures are not quite so high, are ideal for active vacations.
You can pack airy, summery clothes for Sardinia. Swimwear, beach utensils and sufficient sun protection should definitely be in your suitcase. If you are planning longer hikes, you should take hiking boots and breathable clothing. A scarf is also a must for the summer months, as it can be particularly windy on the coast.
With a weekly budget of around $1,850 per person, you can fully enjoy your Sardinia vacation without the stress. Stay in comfortable 3-star hotels with daily Sardinian breakfast included. With a daily budget of approximately $260, you can savor meals at local restaurants and join guided tours and activities. Getting around by taxi is easy and convenient for short distances.
