Alghero Fertilia Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Alghero-Fertilia airport has no trains, and the scheduled bus to the centre takes about 20 minutes, with the first run only at 5:20: those leaving at dawn or arriving late at night find it more practical to stay near the terminal, in Fertilia or on the beaches of Bombarde and Punta Negra, 10-15 minutes by car. Those who instead have a few days for the Catalan historic centre and the Riviera del Corallo can head towards Santa Maria la Palma and Lake Baratz, an area just as close to the terminal but greener, also handy for a day trip to Stintino.
