Little villages
by littlebush
I think just going to Sardinia is a little off the beaten track, well, I havent seen the east of the island but in the west near Alghero, we hardly saw any tourists and there are no huge resorts or hotels. Its worth visiting some of the smaller towns/villages in the area. Stintino in the far north is a lovely small fishing village with La Pelosa beach nearby. Fertillia near Alghero is a lovely town.
Bosa is abig bigger but on the stunning drive from Alghero to Bosa, theres some tiny villages to stop at.
Excursions around Alghero
by Paisleypaul
There are as of 2007 a few players in providing escursioni - day trips and half day trips around Alghero and Northern (predominantly Northwestern) Sardinia.
On 14th August there is a one-off trip to Sassari's Candeleri - covered in my Sassari pages, but probably as easy certainly cheaper to go under your owen steam.
We did Stintino (half day trip , on my Stintino page) and Costa Smeralda, a full day's tour of the North East and Emerald Coast.
Other trips are boat trips, Castelsardo (half day - trying to do this 2009 trip) and Bosa (full day).
Be aware that sometimes if they do not realize minimum numbers the trip gets cancelled the night before - they will fax your hotel.
The web link I provided is dated 2006 and has a _2005 part of the web address - was all still going August 2007, the same trips will be available if there has been a rebranding or through a competitior if DuneViaggi n olonger do trips/ excursions
