The heat came with a slight delay this year. And the tourists who had chosen Sardinia for the May holidays had to wait until Tuesday 10 to take the first dip in the sea with summer temperatures after a week of bad weather that hit the entire boot.
The holidaymakers came mainly from Northern Europe - many Germans, Austrians and French, some Americans - and from Spain. Some even from Italy. In the middle of the week they began to enjoy the most beautiful coasts of the island, in this period still little frequented compared to the full house in July and August.
From the long beaches of Chia to those of Costa Rei and Ogliastra, up to the north of the island between Siniscola, San Teodoro, Costa Smeralda, Stintino and Alghero. And after a few umbrellas placed here and there, with the arrival of the African anticyclone Hannibal at the weekend the beaches are also populated by residents, so much so that today the coasts have been stormed.
On Sunday the full house is expected at Poetto, as in Alghero, which begins to be populated with tourists . Hotels are already experiencing a boom in bookings for next week, some hotels on the coast are already fully booked for the penultimate week of May.
