Sardinia: guides, routes and map [2026]

Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and an autonomous region of Italy, located roughly halfway between the Italian Peninsula, Corsica, and North Africa. The island is comparable in size to Belgium and boasts nearly 2,000 km of diverse coastline—from white, sandy beaches with turquoise waters, through rocky bays accessible only by boat, to towering cliffs and a rugged, mountainous interior that resembles a small, uninhabited world.

In terms of climate, the island offers a classic Mediterranean mix: mild winters, hot, dry summers and over 300 days of sunshine a year.
In July and August, temperatures often exceed 30°C, but the Mistral wind acts as natural air conditioning. The best times to visit are in spring and autumn, when it's still warm, the sea is pleasantly warm, and the crowds and prices are a bit less "holiday-like."

Below you'll find a compilation of all the guides that will help you plan your own trip to Sardinia: from beaches and seaside towns to mountain villages, nuraghes and the island's nooks and crannies.
