Climate:

The climate is mild. In the coastal areas the winter is lukewarm, yet cold enough in the higher mountains. The Summer is warm and dry. The rains are not sufficient and they are concentrated in the beginning of Spring and the end of Autumn. In the Winter the island is swept by the north-westerly wind that is much worse than the western wind.

Comunications:

The island is connected to Italy thanks to the ferries that work from the ports of Olbia, Torres Port, Cagliari and Sant' Antiocco. The road network is already quite efficient , but with large numbers of tourists and the development of the cities, it is growing.

The railway network is limited to connecting the more developed city centers as the lay of the land makes it difficult to do much more. The more important airports are "Elmas" close to Cagliari, "Fertilia" near Alghero and "Venafiorita" near Olbia.
