Is Sardinia a good choice for our honeymoon?
Our take
Hi everyone,
My husband and I are planning our honeymoon for the first two weeks of July. He very much wants to visit Sardinia, and I'm feeling a bit unsure. The beaches look absolutely stunning, I'm just wondering if we should choose somewhere a bit more urban.
I personally don't love driving a lot while on vacation - the added stress of navigating and parking can really detract from my experience. The vacations I've enjoyed the most have been to the French Riviera and Belgium - I love being able to walk and take trains, and all the little places you stumble upon while travelling on foot or by transit.
I'm also concerned about the ease of finding places to grab coffee, lunch, dinner, etc. Outside of the main cities like Cagliari and Alghero, the towns seem pretty sparse, and I'm wondering if that is the case? I will be nearly 5 months pregnant while we're away, and I worry a bit about not having many options for rehydrating or refuelling after beach visits.
We are currently looking at exploring the east coast of the island with stops around the Coast of Baunei, San Teodoro, Olbia, Santa Teresa Gallura, and Alghero.
Any insights about what to expect are greatly appreciated!

- Thoughts on our honeymoon itinerary?Hello! We'll be taking a ~3-week honeymoon this September (maybe into early October). A bit about us: We enjoy walkable cities/towns with nice parks/green spaces, beaches, good food, coffee, wine, and cocktails! We prefer going to a nice wine bar or chill bar/lounge over a club. Right now we're for sure want to go to France and Spain, but are deciding between Italy and Portugal. Here's our rough itinerary: Fly into Paris for 4-5 nights (have been here before) Take the train to Cassis for 3 nights If we choose Italy: Fly to Milan for 3-4 nights Take the train to Bologna for 3-4 nights Fly to Barcelona for 3-4 nights (have been before) Take the train to Valencia (3-4 nights) Fly home (either from Valencia or travel back to Barcelona) If we choose Portugal: Fly from Cassis/Nice to Barcelona Take the train to Valencia Fly to Libson (4-5 nights, have been before) and likely take a day trip to Cascais. Fly home (Southern California) Also open to other city recommendations! Thanks! submitted by /u/tayyylooor [link] [comments]
- Need help planning next tripMy husband and I would like to travel with our 16-month-old this upcoming September. We went to Portugal last September all together and had an incredible time. But now we can’t seem to make a decision. We keep going back and forth but we have narrowed it down to the following destinations (in no particular order): - Greece (Crete or Naxos/Paros) - Croatia (Dalmatian Coast) - Italy (Sicily and/or Sardinia) - Costa Rica - Andalusia - Balearic Islands I would like gorgeous beaches and charming towns, while my husband would like a place rich with history and activities/excursions to do. We would also like a place that is family friendly, and food is important as well. We have between 10-14 days so we’re thinking 2-3 bases would be ideal. We have no issues with renting a car, but we would like to keep travel time to a minimum (i.e. proximity to a major airport, easy ferry access, limited flights). We’re from a major Canadian hub so bonus points for direct flights. submitted by /u/Commercial-Cattle-89 [link] [comments]
