Tips

For a more relaxed pace, consider adding an extra day in Sardinia to explore the stunning Costa Smeralda or the rugged interior of the Gennargentu mountains. If time is limited, you can condense the Venice segment to a single full day and skip the boat tour in Sardinia, focusing instead on the island’s historic sites and beaches for a shorter yet equally romantic getaway.
