Travel to Sardinia Guide

Information on ways of getting to
the Mediterranean Island.

Travel to Sardinia either by air or by sea.

The two principal ways of getting to the island are by flying or by a ferry crossing.

In some cases it can also be a combination of the two especially when people are looking for a cheap way to travel and don’t really mind the fact that the journey may take that little longer.

By Air.

There are three airports on the Island which provide nonstop international flights from Europe.

Although you have a good choice of routes from many European cities, there is always a chance you don’t find a direct from your departure location to one of the Islands airport.

In this case another alternative is flights one or more stops.

The main airports in Italy , Rome and Milan offer more connections with Europe as well as intercontinental  flights to Rome and are an excellent place to look for flights with connections.

Ferries to Cagliari a more limited from the South end of Italy, so if you’re travelling from North Europe you will be better off looking at ferries to Porto Torres, Olbia.
