Trips to Sardinia | January.

BY BOAT

There are several companies that offer connections by sea between Spain, Italy or France, to Sardinia. We will find regular ferry lines that leave from Barcelona in the direction of Porto Torres, on the north coast of the island. This is the best option, if what you are thinking about is visiting the island and bring your own car or motorcycle, since there is a car park in the ferry and its prices are not too expensive. But if you do not go to Sardinia from Spain, we have other shorter alternatives are to take the ferry that leaves from Marseille, in France, or the one that leaves from Genoa, already in Italy .. Although they are not the only routes, since ships also leave from other ports located on the Italian coast such as Rome, Naples or Civitavecchia.

BY PLANE

This is one of the most frequent options for tourists who visit Sardinia, since the island has many regular flights operated by low cost companies. The island consists of 4 airports. The Fertilia airport in Alghero and the Elmas airport in Cagliari are the most popular and have the largest number of connections. Alghero is perfect for those who want to discover the north, and Cagliari, for those who visit the south.

Sardinia is open to tourism throughout the year, so it offers all kinds of accommodation for those who visit. Finding an option that suits the quality-price you're looking for will surely be easy. The only thing you have to bear in mind is the kind of trip you want to do. If you are looking for an affordable option, staying in Alghero or Arzachena are your best options. They offer all types of very comfortable bed & breakfast. They also have airports nearby and will allow you to discover more about the northern part of the island and the spectacular Costa Esmeralda. Living it is also possible for those who choose to stay in Porto Torres, since it will be surrounded by the glamor of this wonderful coastal area and you can also find B&B, apartments and villas. Another option is to stay is the capital, Cagliari, perfect for those who want to visit the southern part of the island during the day and also want to enjoy their nightlife. Cagliari offers accommodation of all kinds and adapted to suit all tastes. The already known as the Mediterranean Caribbean also has space for the most exclusive, who can choose between sleeping in a luxury hotel on the Costa Esmeralda, a 5 star resort in the south of the island or a luxurious villa. For the most fortunate, Porto Cervo is the most exclusive place and where it is more expensive to stay. Of course, sleeping there is one of the experiences you will never forget.

You can subscribe to an insurance policy that covers healthcare during the trip. There are travel policies that in addition to covering medical expenses, cover trip cancellations and possible thefts. Several private health entities have medical services and private clinics in the different towns of the Island.

To request assistance in any public center or hospital, it is advisable to have an European Health Insurance Card (or EHIC), which can be requested by phone or through the Internet. All the localities of Sardinia have medical services. The public sector has hospitals located in the main population centers and outpatients distributed throughout the island.
