I spent winter travelling through Sardinia in my van. Here are the highlights in 16 photos, and the route I took. The numbers on the map below correspond to the photos. Enjoy!
Here’s my route – Porto Torres to Cagliari
I started here, Pelosa Beach (1)
Zero people here
I camped here, Capo Caccia, for a while (2)
There’s this huge cave underneath (I didn’t know)
I drove along the dirt tracks (3)
To the north coast via Castelsardo (4)
I found some amazing bits of paradise in the east (5)
That’s when the van broke down
See this post to see how I fixed it: The van broke down – 3 days in a 3 minute video
I carried on down the East coast (6)
See this post: Wildcamping on the east coast of Sardinia – with coordinates
This is a sun rise
I went inland through the mountains (7)
But it was too icy
Back to the coast (west)
See post on good camping area on the west coast: Camping on the West coast of Sardinia in 10 photos – with location
There are endless tracks to explore
And loads of places to camp
I got to the capital, Cagliari, in the south
From here I got a boat to Sicily
Sardinia is a quiet place in Winter. There was hardly anyone here but was a perfect place to finish writing my second book – see the video if you missed the announcement. And as for escaping winter, it was a good choice and it was relatively dry and warm (more so than Greece – my first van-winter).
Love that you included campsites with coordinates. Hoping for the same for Sicily! 🙂 Thank you!
Great that you spent some time in Sardinia in the winter although Sicily is warmer. I did it opposite, winter in Sicily and spring in Sardinia.
well you paid a good amount of money but we got the Van working
Looks absolutely amazing!!
I’ve just bought my van just about to get started. Thanks for the inspiration 😉
I like the map!
Your travels are beautiful and so inspiring to me! If you come to the USA please get in touch and I’ll hook you up with some great destination in the southern Appalachian mountains you just can not miss. Happy travels!
Peccato non esserci incontrati!
