Top 10 Things to do in Sardinia, Italy

January 25, 2022 Kiesha Cripe

The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena

La Maddalena Archipelago National Park is a geomarine protected area consisting of a group of islands situated in the north-east of the coast of Gallura, in the stretch of sea between Sardinia and Corsica known as Bocche di Bonifacio. These islands – except for La Maddalena Island housing the homonymous town and characterized by a significant human presence – are entirely deserted or scattered with small human settlements, like in Caprera and Santa Maria Islands.

You MUST take a boat trip around the Arcipelago if your visiting Sardinia. Full day excursion, calling at 3 Islands, Maddalena, Maria & Pargi - all part of a National Park with limited Tourist access. Fabulous trip

San Benedetto market

This open-air market in Sardinia's principal city is noisy, busy, colorful and lots of fun.

Loved this place - sights, smells, bustle, amazing food! Mix with the locals and spend a fraction of what you would in a restaurant .. we loved buying up lots of little portions of Salami, breads and cheeses (you can also try first !). The seafood market is out of this world.. market sellers very friendly and patient with our rubbish Italian and will throw in a freebie or bargain. Great for photographers too!

La Pelosa Beach

Reviewed By Pagu83 - London, United Kingdom

If you stay in holidays in the north west cost of Sardinia, this little beach is a MUST visit place!! Worth driving more than hour to admire this amazing place! Water is nn second to nn! (Even Maldives! Without sea marine life obviously) be prepare to arrive early as parking space in the streets are limited, there is a private parking to in the hill too. You must bring a “stuoia” or get an ombrellone :).

Spiaggia La Cinta

Reviewed By Matt1239 - Halstead, United Kingdom

Picturesque long stretch of beach with crystal clear shallow waters and fine sand. Large car park right next to the beach (chargeable), but can be walked in about 25 minutes from San Teodoro centre. As one end there are two nice beach bars serving drinks and light snacks at reasonable prices. The further down the beach you go the quieter it becomes if you prefer it not so busy. Lots of sun loungers available for a daily charge. Certainly one of the best beaches in the area.

A must visit, travelling the Sardinian east coast and probably one of the best beaches in Sardinia. Be early, the beach tends to be crowded at lunch time.

Porto Giunco

Reviewed By StefanoPedditzi - London, United Kingdom

Just passed Villasimius Porto Giunco sits between two bays covered with Juniper (ginepro) plants on the rocks, extending plies waters and white sands. Next to timi AMA resort, parking costs €5 for the day and it is guarded. Disappointing however is the elegant restaurant on the beach with no swimming suits allowed in, the lido charges 70-100 euros for two sun lounges and parasols, too expensive but it is worth it. Bring your own food and take your litter to the bins or home, please respect such beauty to remain clean. A must see in Sardinia! Walk on the shallow waters and explorer the rocks with camera to be amazed.
