Directs from Sardinia or Sicily to Eastern Europe are rarely the cheapest path. Island → Central European hub → overnight coach is the pattern TLC keeps finding.
When air spikes, Genoa/Barcelona and Adriatic ferries can win — if you accept a night at sea and soft luggage limits.
Keep each segment bookable separately. TLC links out to ticket sites; we never ticket for you.
