The climate of Bosa: A pleasant Mediterranean climate
Bosa is a Sardinian town of picturesque beauty. The island has a typical Mediterranean climate. Summers are long and hot, and winters are wet. In July and August, the average temperature is 24-25°C. Novembers and Decembers are the rainiest. On the parts near the sea, winters are moderate, and the temperature rarely drops below °C. In January and February, the average temperature is 10°C.
The dominant winds of Sardinia are the Mistral and the Sirocco. The former is mainly present on the northern and western parts of the island. Due to the windy climate, they have built several wind turbines. If you do not insist on the warm weather, it is worth visiting the place in the autumn and spring. The weather is ideal both for travelling and hiking. Would you also like to swim? Then we recommend the period between the end of May and the end of September.

Sailing around Bosa: Plan for a one-week-long sailing trip
We are leaving from Bosa, and this is where we will return after visiting the sights in the neighbouring areas.
Day 1. Bosa – Santa Caterina di Pittinuri
21, 65 km (13, 45 nm)
First, sail to the coastal town of Santa Caterina di Pittinuri; it has a sandy beach where you can marvel at the unique rocky landscape around you. The spectacular cliff S’Archittu can be found here; swimming and canoeing will become an unforgettable experience if you are bound to travel here. Do not forget to visit the Santa Caterina Church either.
Day 2. Santa Caterina di Pittinuri – San Giovanni di Sinis
31, 35 km (19, 48 nm)
After leaving Santa Caterina di Pittinuri you arrive at a former fishing village called San Giovanni di Sinis. The most significant sight of this coastal resort is the Spanish tower of San Giovanni. Philip II had it erected between 1580 and 1610 to prevent pirate attacks. If you happen to have a bit more time, the central square awaits you with a 5-century old Paleo-Christian temple.
Day 3. San Giovanni di Sinis – Tharros
4, 73 km (2, 94 nm)
If you dock here, you can explore one of the most valuable archaeological treasures of Sardinia in the ancient ruins. The archaeological site is not only special because it is facing the sea, but it is also an open-air museum where you can see churches, baths and a necropolis. It feels like travelling back in time.
Day 4. Tharros – Cabras
9, 94 km (6, 18 nm)
You can find precious architectural findings in the Architectural Museum here. Do you want to satisfy your taste buds? Then visit Il Caminetto, one of the most popular seafood restaurant which lies in the historical centre. You can get to know such classical meals of Sardinia such as smoked mullet or spaghetti shell. Furthermore, you should also order either a plate with seafood or pizza slices at L’Oliveto.
Day 5. Cabras – Oristano (Marina di Torre Grande)
6, 07 km (3, 77 nm)
The city has beautiful Renaissance and Baroque buildings. Do you have more time to spend here? You should also see the cathedral, the Tower of St. Christopher and the local museum. Oristano is famous for its equestrian carnival which has a 500-year-old tradition. They organise it during the carnival season, on the last but one Sunday and the Tuesday following it.
Days 6. Oristano (Marina di Torre Grande) – Buggerru
58, 42 km (36, 30 nm)
The next stop is Buggerru, a former mining town. The two famous sites of the town are San Giovanni Battista Church and the wonderful bay of Cala Domestica, 2 km from the town south. For climbers, the over 100-metre high cliffs are excellent challenges.
Day 7. Buggerru – Island of Mal di Ventre – Bosa
101, 88 km (63, 30 nm)
The first name of Mal di Ventre Island was Maluentu. It is unpopulated lying a few kilometres from the Sardinian shore. The southern coastline is rocky whereas the eastern hides breath-taking coves like Cala Valdaro. There is a lighting tower on the island’s highest point, 18 metres above seas level.
After Maluentu, we return to our first stop, Bosa. You should definitely try the frutti di mare in one of the cosy restaurants; as for wines, we recommend Malvasia.
