Sardinia is about 24,090–24,100 square kilometers in area, which is roughly 9,300 square miles.
Quick Scoop
- Area: Around 24,090–24,100 km² (about 9,300 sq mi).
- Rank in Mediterranean: Second-largest island in the Mediterranean, after Sicily.
- Shape in practical terms: Driving its full length feels a bit like driving between mid-sized cities in a large U.S. state (often compared to distances like Dallas–Austin).
A quick size comparison
- Very similar in land area to the U.S. state of Vermont (just a touch larger).
- Much bigger than many famous islands people know from holidays, like Ibiza or Malta (those are only a small fraction of Sardinia’s size).
Simple mental picture
Imagine a fairly compact region: large enough that crossing it by car is a proper road trip, but small enough that you’re always within reach of the coast in a couple of hours. That’s Sardinia’s scale in everyday travel terms.
