Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
January in Sardinia is on the cool side — with highs around 15°C it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime temperatures reach up to 15°C, cooling to 6°C at night (daily average: 10°C). With 5 sunshine hours per day and 4 rain days (34 mm), this is one of the cloudier months. At 13°C, the water is still quite cool in January — 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.
