With so much to explore across the island, it’s worth hiring a car. Public transport isn’t particularly user friendly, especially for adventurers keen to discover hidden gems off the beaten track. Plus, the road trips are worthy exploits in themselves. The coastal drive from Teulada to
Chia will see you twisting, turning and climbing past some of the most spectacular nature in Sardinia, from Mediterranean thicket to distant mountains, bays and beaches.
Once you’ve reached Chia, on the island’s southernmost tip, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to which charming stretch of sand to lay your towel down on. There are plenty of quaint cafés nearby to keep the family well fed after an afternoon of kitesurfing, kayaking, or snorkelling off the coast.
Continue building your holiday with a trip to Pula. Spend time pottering around the intriguing boutiques, and stay into the summer evening to watch live concerts in the sun drenched Piazza del Popolo. There’s more culture to be soaked up in the capital city, Cagliari. Immerse yourself in local knowledge at the archaeological museum and the mesmerising crypt under the Cathedral of Saint Maria. And don’t miss the colourful sights, impassioned sounds, and curious smells at the city’s largest covered market, San Benedetto.
