Sardinia's Mediterranean climate brings hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, with the busiest stretch from June to September. Island cooking leans on seafood, handmade pasta, olive oil and local wines, which makes Oristano a sound base for lunches after a visit. Flights, ferries and hydrofoils link Sardinia to the mainland, and the island's towns are straightforward to reach by road. Italian is the main language spoken, so a few phrases help in smaller places. Oristano sits within reach of Cagliari and Alghero for travellers touring the island.
