Alghero - A Rough Guide

In Alghero - as on many Italian beaches - there are many “private” areas of the beach that are roped off where you have to hire or rent sun loungers and umbrellas by the day. In Alghero the going rate was €15 a day for two beds and an umbrella . They get booked up very early in the high season and at weekends - you may need to book a couple of days in advance. I think you migh get a a discount if you book a whole week in one go.
Included in the price is use of the toilets and showers and access to things like air beds and other inflatables and toys for the kids.
You could always buy an umbrella and a couple of deck chairs and sit on the public beach areas - but hey - your’e on holiday - why not treat yourself?

Don’t be expecting too much in the way of food, drink or shops in the departure area of Alghero airport.
There are a couple of vending machines, toilets and seats - and that is it.
If you want someting to eat or drink apart from a chocolate bar or a fizzy drink - then stay outside the departure area as long as you can. In the main waiting area of the airport at Alghero - there are two cafes and two small shops selling paper and magazines etc. Don’t expect too many English language reading material - on my visit they were either sold out or never had any English papers. There were a few UK magazines - but not many

Hertz have a car rental desk at Alghero Airport - one of many at the airport.
Hertz car hire prices may not always be the cheapest - but they do seem to have a good selection of cars.
Expect to be offered Italian made cars such as Fiat - make sure you get air conditioning otherwise you will bake in the 34 degree summer temperatures.
