Best Journey of Sardinia - 7 Days
Sardinia unfolds over a week-long tour covering 8 cities from Cagliari to Palau. Ancient ruins captivate at Tharros, while Bosa's Castle of Serravalle and Porto Cervo's luxury marina showcase island diversity. Features stays at 4-star hotels like UNAHOTELS T Hotel and three traditional Sardinian feasts.
5 Day Sardinia Itinerary, incl. Olbia and Cagliari
The 5-day Sardinian adventure takes you to Porto Cervo, La Maddalena Archipelago, and medieval Bosa. Marvel at the Sacred Well of Santa Cristina and Nuraghe Santu Antine. Accommodations include 4-star hotels like Hotel Martini and Sardegna Termale Hotel & Spa, with full-board dining.
- Day 1
Olbia
Start your Sardinian journey in Olbia. Plan to arrive by mid-afternoon since hotel check-in begins at 4 PM. The city center is just 10 minutes from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport by taxi. Try to book a flight that lands before sunset so you can walk down Corso Umberto, the main shopping street, before dinner.
- Day 2
La Maddalena & Costa Smeralda
Drive 30 minutes to Palau to catch the boat to La Maddalena. The ferry ride takes about 20 minutes. Sit on the left side for the best views. Bring a swimsuit and water shoes for stops at Baja Sardinia. You'll need about 2 hours to see Porto Cervo's luxury marina and boutiques. Visit in the morning to avoid the summer crowds.
- Day 3
Nuraghe Sites & Alghero
The 1.5-hour drive to Torralba takes you through Sardinia's rugged landscape. Wear solid shoes at Nuraghe Santu Antine because the ancient stone steps can be slick. The afternoon drive to Alghero offers beautiful coastal views. Visit the old town's sea-facing walls at sunset when they take on a golden glow.
- Day 4
Bosa & Sacred Wells
The road to Bosa is one of Sardinia's most beautiful drives. Stop for photos along the way. In Bosa, walk up to Malaspina Castle for great views before trying some local Malvasia wine. Bring a light jacket to the Sacred Well of Santa Cristina since it's cooler underground. Plan for a 2-hour drive to Sardara.
- Day 5
Departure from Cagliari
Give yourself at least 1.5 hours to drive from Sardara to Cagliari Airport. Add extra time during peak summer season. Morning flights usually mean lighter traffic.
5 Days in Sardinia, incl. Olbia and Costa Smeralda
The five-day adventure showcases Sardinia's highlights, from Olbia through 12 distinct destinations. Breathtaking views await at Capo Caccia's dramatic cliffs, while medieval Castelsardo charms visitors, and La Maddalena archipelago dazzles on a scenic cruise. Includes daily breakfast, local guides in Cagliari, and traditional Mirto liqueur tasting.
- Day 1
Olbia to Cagliari
Leave Olbia early (before 8 AM) for the 4-hour drive south to Cagliari. Stop in historic Oristano to explore its medieval center and break up the journey. You'll reach Cagliari by early afternoon to see the capital's main sights, including the hilltop Castello area. A helpful tip: Use the Marina parking lot and take the public elevator up instead of tackling the steep climb in the summer heat.
- Day 2
Cagliari to Alghero via Bosa
Drive northwest to Bosa, a colorful riverside town about 2.5 hours from Cagliari. Visit before 11 AM to avoid crowds in the narrow medieval streets. Spend your afternoon in Alghero, walking through its Catalan-influenced old town. In the evening, join locals for the traditional passeggiata along the seafront promenade.
- Day 3
Coast and Castles
Start your morning at Capo Caccia for beautiful views of Porto Conte bay. Next up is Stintino's La Pelosa beach - get there before 10 AM to find parking. Visit medieval Castelsardo in the afternoon before heading to Palau. Important note: You'll need to book La Pelosa beach visits ahead in summer due to visitor limits.
- Day 4
Costa Smeralda
Discover the luxurious Emerald Coast, beginning at Porto Cervo's marina. The beaches here are stunning but get packed from June through September. For a quieter option, take a boat to smaller beaches like Cala Petra Ruja. End your day watching the sunset in Porto Rotondo before returning to Palau.
- Day 5
Island Hopping to Finish
Catch an early ferry from Palau to La Maddalena archipelago - they run hourly. Visit Garibaldi's house on Caprera island (book tickets online to skip lines). Drive to Santa Teresa di Gallura for great views of Corsica. Allow 90 minutes for the final drive back to Olbia to account for summer traffic.
