Can you visit West Sardinia without a car?

What becomes harder without a rental car, where to base yourself, and when organised experiences make sense.

The short answer

It is possible, but the coast becomes much easier when you either rent a car or plan transfers and organised activities in advance.

Best base

Oristano offers the strongest transport connections; Cabras puts you closer to the Sinis but requires more planning.

Plan the gaps before you arrive

If you are travelling without a car, check the actual public-transport timetable for your dates and use organised activities or transfers only where they genuinely solve a route gap.
