Find HotelsIf you have more time, add an extra day to explore the stunning inland villages of Orgosolo and the scenic coastal road to Alghero. To shorten the trip, you could skip the boat tour and spend the afternoon relaxing on Poetto Beach, saving both time and €45. Booking flights and hotels at least 4–6 weeks in advance usually secures the lowest prices, and consider traveling with just a carry‑on to avoid checked‑bag fees.
