Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
December in Sardinia is on the cool side — with highs around 16°C it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime temperatures reach up to 16°C, cooling to 7°C at night (daily average: 11°C). With 5 sunshine hours per day and 5 rain days (38 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 15°C, the water is still quite cool in December — a wetsuit may be useful.
Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
Sardinien im Winterschlaf — und die Sartiglia in Oristano als Ausnahme: Das Reiterturnier im Karnevalsjubel gilt als eines der spektakulärsten Feste Italiens, seit dem 14. Jahrhundert. Die Costa Smeralda ist geisterhaft leer.
