Peak season: June through to September is when the weather is at its best and cheap flights to Sardinia become very hard to find.

The second to last Sunday of May hosts the Cavalcata Sarda in Sassari. The event sees a procession of around 8000 horse riders all dressed in traditional outfits. The first Sunday in August is the Festa della Madonna degli Angeli, which is a fantastic procession of dancing and singing. August sees a few religious events as well as a firework display.

Cagliari: Getting to the centre isn’t too difficult thanks to the reliable transportation options available. The cheapest way for you to find your way would be to jump on a bus. They leave the airport every half an hour and as well as the centre of the city you can also get off at the train station if your journey ventures off somewhere else. There are two different areas to catch the bus from. One is outside of arrivals and the other is at departures. Either one will take you to the centre although they will have slightly different operating times. Taxis are your other option. You can find them as soon as you step foot outside of the airport but note that they are expensive, especially when compared with the price of a bus ticket. If you do take a taxi ensure you’ve agreed on the fare before setting off. Olbia: Your best option is to get a bus. Bus lines 10 and 2 both go to Via Gabriele D’Annunzio, which is also where the train station is located. Buses tend to be operated by ARST and you’ll need to buy your ticket before boarding the bus. These can be found from newsagents and you’ll easily find a place in the airport to find your tickets. Bus line 2 runs every half an hour while line 10 operates every 45 minutes but their general route is pretty similar. You can also board buses from the airport to go to other cities or towns on the island. Trains are an option but not from the airport. You can get the bus to the train station and then purchase a ticket for the train to finish your journey. If you’d prefer you can get a taxi but, similarly to Cagliari, taxis aren’t cheap. If you are travelling with friends and can split the fare however, you may find them to be reasonable.
