The three main airports in Sardinia are located in Alghero,  Cagliari,  Olbia.

However, despite of the relatively short distances (Alghero-Olbia is about 140 Km; Alghero-Cagliari is about 200 Km) connections are not confortable. Trains and buses are not frequent and travelling takes rather long times.

 

Thus, our suggestion is to fly directly to Alghero-Fertilia, or to fly to Olbia or Cagliari and then take a car.

 

The Alghero-Fertilia Internationl Airport is about 10 km away from the town centre.  The cost of a taxi from the airport to the hotels in the centre of Alghero is approximately 25 Euros. Alternatively, one can take a bus to the air terminal, located in the town centre (map of alghero), at the cost of 1 Euro.
