Hitchhiking seems to be possible there, reports from different people told us that waiting time is a bit longer, but possible as everywhere. Jason hitched here in April 2008 without problem and traveled 70km through the mountains to Cagliari in two rides in around one hour thirty. People seem to be really friendly.

For getting onto the island, RyanAir for example offers extremely cheap flights to Alghero.

hitching in sardegna is fairly easy. public transport is difficult. there are only few trains from olbia to cagliari, about 300 km and the trip takes a whole day. it is a bit faster with busses but people are very hitchhiker friendly and will take you. there is no autostrada like on the continent where hitchhiking is forbidden, only a 4-lane road between cagliari and sassari resp. olbia and olbia-sassari. you can stand everywhere and try to thumb down a car. on the 4-lane road cars are driving often really fast so make sure that you are visible from afar. avoid hitching on a sunday, there are mainly families on the road and the cars are full. and on the main road you can be lucky and get a long-distance lift, or you get lifts only for 10 km. be patient. usually you don't have to wait a long time. sardegna is the easiest place to hitch in whole italy.
