The island of Sardinia is located to the west of the peninsula of Italy. It is a surprisingly large island and a week is not enough time to fully sightsee the whole of it. In the space of a week, it was only possible for us to visit a little of the southern half of the island and that was with quite a busy itinerary.

We visited in mid-October and as you will see from the photos, the weather was gloriously sunny and a perfect 25C during the day. It was warm enough for swimming but not too annoyingly warm for a day of sightseeing. This is considered shoulder season. Therefore, there were other perks such as cheaper accommodation, inexpensive car rental and less crowds at the attractions.
