Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG)

If you fly from Barcelona or Seville, Cagliari has a direct flight. Hire the car at the airport and head north on the SS131: the Barbagia lies in the centre of the island. Fonni is about two and a half hours away, Mamoiada about two hours and three-quarters and Orgosolo and Oliena almost three (estimated). From here, begin the visit at Fonni and finish at Oliena, or the other way round if you leave from Olbia.
