Driving a Campervan around Sardinia

Reach the island by ferry from mainland Italy (Genoa, Livorno, Civitavecchia) or France (Marseille). Main ferry ports in Sardinia are Olbia, Golfo Aranci, Porto Torres, Cagliari and Arbatax.
Roads have no tolls. The main SS131 Carlo Felice road runs 226 kilometres north to south, connecting Porto Torres, Sassari, Oristano and Cagliari.
No emission zone stickers are required. Historic town centres in Cagliari, Alghero and Sassari have restricted traffic zones (ZTL) that issue fines to unauthorised vehicles. Watch for signs.
Camping outside authorised areas is restricted and fines are enforced. Use official campsites or Aree di Sosta (motorhome service areas) which typically cost 5 to 20 euros per night and provide water and waste disposal.
Coastal roads can be narrow and busy during summer. Fill your fuel tank before driving to remote areas and allow extra travel time.
