Car rental in Sardinia, Italy

Sardinia is one of the two major islands of Italy (the other being Sicily); it is an ancient island where different cultures and way of living just mix up seamlessly; it is definitely worth a visit. I myself have been there many times and each time I promise I would come back. It is so charming with its sea, beautiful beaches and amazing places in the inner of the island. What stands out mainly in Sardinia is its raw nature; worth mentioning the ‘Nuraghe’, stone towers buildings ending with a truncated cone used by ancient inhabitants of the island.How to get thereBasically there are 3 main airports which connect Sardinia with Europe – two of which are operated by one of the most famous low-cost flight companies around: Ryanair. Ryanair operates both in the Alghero airport and Cagliari airport. The other airport is the Olbia ‘Costa Smeralda’ airport mainly operated by Meridiana.Alghero (located in the north-west of Sardinia) is famous for its roots being the only Sardinian town founded by Barcelona; its roots and its language are clearly Catalan. This tiny town is one of the most important touristic centers in Sardinia. If you happen to be in Alghero you definitely should not miss visiting: The Nuraghe Palmavera and Santa Imbenia The Neptune Caves The promontory of Capo Caccia, with his now famous cliff-shaped sleeping giant that has become a symbol of Alghero ‘Arca di Noè’ or ‘Ark of Noah’, a protected area suggested for those who are into trekking ‘Il lago di Baratz’ or ‘Lake Baratz’ (the only natural freshwater lake in Sardinia) Many famous beaches among which I would like to suggest the ‘Bombarde’ beach and the ‘Lazzaretto’ beach.Olbia (located in the north east of Sardinia) is famous for its night-life (mainly at Porto Cervo), and its clubs for VIP. Its coast is called ‘Costa Smeralda’ or ‘emerald coast’ because of its beautiful sea.Cagliari is in the south of the island is the Sardinia main and biggest town. Its Arabic influences are undeniable.Unfortunately the island public transportation is almost non-existent due to the fact that many places are really off the beaten track. One solution would be to rent a car.Browse the website at the bottom of the page to rent a car in Alghero (if you are arriving at the Alghero airport ‘Riviera del Corallo’) and to rent a car in Cagliari (if you are arrinving at the Cagliari ‘Elmas’ airport instead).Enjoy yourself in the amazing island of Sardinia!
