You cannot get there without a car

Do you need a hire car?

Mari Pintau has no useful public transport: without a car it is effectively unreachable. The nearest airport is Cagliari. In high season hire cars in Sardinia sell out weeks ahead and prices double close to the date.

Affiliate link: if you book, Blulume earns a commission. The price for you does not change.
