10 Free Things to do in Sardinia That You Shouldn't Miss

September 28, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

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.

San Benedetto market

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

Reviewed By 294mariay - Chester, United Kingdom

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 :).

Reviewed By mupp2 - The Netherlands, null

lovely beach, one of the most beautiful I visited on Sardinia. perfect sand , beautiful view and cristal clear water. just a bit unlucky that it was windy the day we came there so umbrella was not an option, but staying there for long without shadow was not an option either. but if we'll go to sardinia again, this one is definitely on the list!

Capo Testa

Reviewed By HaNosseah - Basel, Switzerland

We spent a few hours one late afternoon hiking at Capo Testa - it was a fantastic experience. The paths are broad and well-marked and the views are fabulous. The rock formations are fascinating - they make you want to be a geologist just to understand how they could have evolved. Those few hours were so much more than we had ever expected. The paths are sometimes steep but not particularly difficult.
