Getting there
By plane: The closest airports are in Olbia (Aeroporto Costa Smeralda) and Alghero (Alghero Riviera del Corallo).

By bus: ARST is the main regional bus service provider in the region.
Stazione F.d.S.. A "dormant" narrow gauge railway station is used these days by ARST as a regional bus hub. Ticket office and waiting room are operating in the station. The toilet is in a relatively functional state.
