we are trying to find out if there interesting small towns on Sardinia, like the rest of Italy...We really don't like the beach scene...
I'm sure there are plenty of small interesting towns in Sardinia, and if you don't like beaches, head inland. That will definitely take you off the beaten track! It's a funny place to go however if you aren't into the beach, as most people go to Sardinia for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear water--especially Italians. Try getting a ferry ticket to Sardinia in August........ Southern Sardinia is less developed than the north and the Costa Smeralda is where all the rich people go with their boats in the summer. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
