Cheap holidays and trips to Sardinia

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.

The Fertilia airport in Alghero and the Elmas airport in Cagliari are the most popular and have the largest number of connections.
