What to do and see in Sardinia, Italy: The Best Flea & Street Markets

June 13, 2021 Milan Banda

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.

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!

Central Market

Reviewed By Chellichacha - San Diego, United States

While not as fancy as the Boqueria in Barcelona, this market is the real deal for locals in Alghero. There are fruit, vegetable, meat, seafood, bread and cheese venders. Our air bnb host told us to shop there on a Friday for the freshest fish. I am glad we took his word for it. We bought the biggest and best prawns that I have had in my entire life. I say go to it, you will be very glad you went!
