'''Sardegna''' is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean See and an autonomous province of [[Italy]].
== Hitchhiking seems to be possible == Hitching in Sardegna is fairly easy. Public transport is difficult and rare. For example there, reports are only few trains from different people told us that waiting time [[Olbia]] to [[Cagliari]] and the trip takes a whole day. It is a bit longerfaster with busses but people are very hitchhiker friendly and will take you. As usual on sundays, but possible as everywherethere are mainly families on the road and the cars are full. Sardegna is the easiest place to hitch in whole [[Italy]].
[[User:Whisperingofthestars|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.
== Getting on/off the island == === Hitchhiking ===If you are coming from [[Corsica]] you can ask private boats at the marina in [[Bonifacio]] - it is not far for a step over and many people doing it. === Ferry ===There are ferrys to:* [[Porto Torres]] coming from [[Barcelona]], [[Marsaille]], [[Genova]], [[Propriano]] and [[Cevitavecchia]]* [[Santa Teresa di Gallura]] coming from [[Bonifacio]]* [[Palau]] from [[Genova]], [[Napoli]] and [[Porto Vecchio]]* [[Golfo Aranci]] from [[Fiumicino]] ([[Rome]]), [[Livorno]] and [[Cevitavecchia]]* [[Olbia]] from [[Salerno]], [[Piombino]], [[Genova]], [[Livorno]] and [[Cevitavecchia]]* [[Tortoli]] from [[Fiumicino]] ([[Rome]]), [[Genova]] and [[Cevitavecchia]]* [[Cagliari]] from [[Trapani]], [[Palermo]], [[Napoli]], [[Livorno]] and [[Cevitavecchia]]They could be hard to hitchhike as you pay for mostly car and passenger, you can try to hide in a car when boarding the ferry, if you are on the ferry nobody will ask you for the ticket anymore. === Plane ===For getting onto the island, [http://www.ryanair.com RyanAir] for example offers extremely cheap flights to [[Alghero]]. == Eat, drink and sleep ==Accommodation and eating is quite expensive especially in high season and near touristic hotspots like Costa Smeralda. Wildcamping is mostly forbidden at least in the tourist areas but somehow tolerated if you do it hidden and you light no fire (never do this, its extremly dangerous in the pine forests, don't be the cause of a forest fire which destroys the beautiful nature of sardegna!)Near [[Santa Teresa di Gallura]] you'll find Capo Testa which is a beautiful place, there is a hidden valley called ''Valle di Luna'' where a hippie community permanently lives in tents and caves, it possible to sleep there for free within an amazing landscape. Water is rare in Sardegna, thats why tap water can be chlorinated and not for drinking, especially in summer and in some regions like [[Tortoli]]. Eating in Sardegna is a pleasure. Find out very the locals have dinner, ask your lift and at least once enjoy a four-course menu, if you don't have much money get invited by your lift or someone else. For the hardcore hitchers, dumpster diving should be no problem and people are so friendly that there might be the chance to ask for free food on markets shortly before they close.
