The Island was once a natural pit stop for Empires on their journey through the Mediterranean Sea. The Phoenicians, Vandals and Byzantines have all left their mark, with the town of Alghero being colonised by the Spanish Catalans for hundreds of years. Campsites in Sardinia tend to be rustic, matching the local feel, with basic clean amenities. Pitches are generally not defined and at times whilst hook-ups are available amperage can be limited. Please Note: At the time of publication, the Italian Ferry Companies are yet to finalise their 2019 timetables and therefore the tour dates may alter by a day or two in either direction due to ferry scheduling. Another thing that really sets Sardinia apart is its white sands and turquoise waters, the Caribbean like beaches are some of the best looking in Europe. We travel around the whole island at a leisurely pace so that you have time to visit the historic landmarks that abound on the island, included is a well-planned excursion programme which along with an above average number of group meals ensures your tour is relaxed, well informed and you eat well throughout.
