Wild, natural coastlines, hidden coves, white sand and sea in shades of turquoise you didn’t even know existed. Soak up the sun and the warm Mediterranean breeze, learn about ancient cultures, explore hilltop villages and exciting towns, hike in nature to find your own secret beach, and try Italian food that’s not quite Italian. Welcome to the ultimate 7-day Sardinia, Italy Itinerary!
Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily (there, saves you Googling it!). It’s a stunning island, that’s windswept and rugged, but well-developed at the same time. You won’t have any trouble finding a great restaurant, a convenient grocery store, or a beautiful beach nearby at any time. The roads are great too, which makes this the perfect destination for a fly & drive.

7-day Sardinia, Italy Itinerary FAQ
I’ve created the perfect 7-day itinerary for you, so you can experience the beauty of Sardinia yourself. Here are some things you should know before going.
Where should I fly in and out of?
Being the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (just a bit larger than Vermont), Sardinia has three international airports. Olbia Airport is in the northeast, Alghero Airport in the northwest and Cagliari Airport in the south. Low-cost airlines fly to all three airports from larger European and Italian cities.
This itinerary starts and ends in Olbia, but sort of goes around the whole island, passing the other two cities with airports. So if flying to Cagliari or Alghero is more convenient, you can start and end your trip there.
How to get around Sardinia?
Forget about public transport in Sardinia. It exists, but it’s not very frequent, more expensive, and takes much longer to get to places. Just pretend it’s not there!
Driving is by far the best way to explore the island. Distances between places are very manageable – often with stunning views – and you have the freedom to go anywhere you like. Sardinia is perfectly catered for this with the numerous rental car companies at the airports.
