You can easily reach Cagliari by bus or by taxi or rent a car at the airport!

Or you can opt for one of the coaches that wait outside of the airport. All the main flight operators serve Cagliari’s airport: Alitalia, Ryanair, KLM, etc…

North Sardinia: Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Riviera del Corallo)   (AHO) 

IThe airport is located in the town of Fertilia in the northwest of Sardinia, only 12 km from Alghero city. You can fly directly to Alghero from all the main European airports, and while it is a smaller airport than Cagliari it is served by all the main operators. You can also easily reach Alghero’s city centre by bus, taxi, or rental car.
