An advice is to give a try to the resort of Calasetta, situated in the Island of Sant’Antioco.
All the Sant’Antioco’s island is nice, away from the tourist crowds, with nice beaches such as ‘Spiaggia Grande’ and other pretty beaches in the south.
You’ll be able to locate a number of restaurants & bars, especially in Sant’ Antioco and as said, in Calasetta.

When is the best time to visit Sardinia?
- For swimming, sun and seaside activites the best time is late May, June, and September.
The weather in early September is cooler than July and August but is still good.
- For nightlife, July and August. However, watchout, it’s high season, that means crowded places — especially touristy areas, and all is considerably more expensive.
