The Mediterranean island of Sardinia is a very popular holiday destination in summer, since besides dreamlike beaches an unspoilt nature awaits every holidaymaker. Besides assorted beach holidays in the hot midday sun, the island also offers many opportunities for relaxation in spring. Starting with the first outings on the sea, the island shines in a rich green that amazes every nature lover. But what can you experience in Sardinia at this time, and where are the best places to relax, recover and enjoy?
Accommodation and climate
A holiday in Sardinia will always be unforgettable, because no two days are alike. If the sun shines one day and it is 30 degrees, the weather can turn into the complete opposite the next day, and rain and wind determine island life. The reason is Sardinia’s special position in the south of the Mediterranean. As a result the winds are sometimes very strong and the weather therefore changeable, especially in the early days of spring. Accommodation with heating can therefore be called a must. It is highly recommended to book a holiday home in Sardinia through HouseTrip.de, as every wish is taken care of and the landlord has a lot of experience. Whether it is the house on the beach with a view of the sea, or in the middle of Alghero for the carnival, it is always advisable to think about what you want to do, and then to request non-binding offers to book a holiday home in Sardinia through HouseTrip.de (www.housetrip.de).
Activities for a successful holiday
Since Sardinia in spring is distinguished by its changeable weather, it is always advisable to have a rain jacket or an umbrella and warm clothing to hand. On sunny spring days, Sardinia offers unique nature that invites many different activities.
Hiking in Sardinia has long been more than just an insider tip. Every year more and more hiking enthusiasts come to the island and explore for the most part the area around Alghero. Here picturesque coastal strips mix with a wild hinterland and offer ever-different hiking routes. The boundaries of the local cattle herders can happily be crossed by opening and closing the gates. Even better, though, is to ask in bad Italian, since the hospitality of the Sardinians has no equal.
Anyone who would rather follow the saying “All the happiness of the earth lies on the backs of horses” is in exactly the right place in Sardinia. The island has a long tradition with horses. At Easter, various competitions are held that decide the luck of the harvest and the best rider on the island. The “Sartiglia”, for example, can be seen as the highlight of many folk festivals, in which endurance and precision count. Of course, horses can also be hired and beautiful rides undertaken. But you should then book a local guide, who not only knows the most beautiful routes but can tell wonderful stories about many gorges, beaches and ruins.
Anyone who thinks they have already explored the interior of Sardinia enough is also warmly invited to get to know the island from another perspective. This can be done either by hired boat or from the air. Those who go by boat can admire the many caves in the steep coasts and relive stories of old smugglers. Here too a guide or captain is a good idea, since they know walkable caves and the most beautiful beaches or even sandbanks. The latter group, those who always want to go higher, can hire a paraglider in the hinterland when the wind is good. Since in spring especially the wind blows regularly in Sardinia, only the occasional rainy day can keep you from the feeling of freedom.
