How to Get to Ogliastra

Ogliastra is Sardinia's most isolated coast — its blessing, and your only effort. Here are real travel times and the tricks of people who drive these roads all their lives.

Details and how to get there

## From the airports From Cagliari: SS125 or the faster SS131-Nuoro route; either way about 2 hours, the last half of which already feels like holiday.

From Olbia: the coastal SS125 via Dorgali — 2 documentary-worthy hours over the 1,000 m Genna 'e Silana pass.

Fill the tank before the mountain stretches and drive in daylight the first time.

## The smart ferry In summer, direct ferries to Arbatax (from Civitavecchia) land twenty minutes from I Mandorli: perfect if you travel with your own car and want to wake up already in Ogliastra.

## Do you need a car? Honestly, yes: the wonders are scattered and buses rare.

In return, there are no queues, parking is easy and every road is scenic.
