Sardinia<\/strong>, starting from Italy, is that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.traghettiup.com\/en\/luoghi\/cagliari\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.traghettiup.com\/en\/luoghi\/cagliari\">ferries to Cagliari<\/a>, which leave their moorings <strong>from Civitavecchia, Naples or Palermo<\/strong> and are operated by the shipping company Grimaldi Lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once disembarked, if you travel with a vehicle, it takes about 50 minutes (you have to travel 60 kilometers via Strada Statale 130 Iglesiente); if you are on foot you can take a regional train, which takes about an hour, or the ARST bus 803.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"traghettiup-aff\" data-afc=\"\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"auto\"
