Discover Sardinia: A Journey Through Sea, Culture, and Nature
Sardinia, a stunning Italian island in the heart of the Mediterranean, is renowned for its nearly 2,000 kilometers of coastline, golden sandy beaches, and a mountainous interior filled with scenic hiking trails. This diverse landscape is home to thousands of nuraghe, ancient Bronze Age stone structures with a distinctive shape that tell the story of the island’s earliest civilizations. Famous worldwide for its crystal clear waters and breathtaking beaches, Sardinia is a land of contrasts where unspoiled nature blends seamlessly with centuries old traditions.
A Journey Through History
Throughout its long history, Sardinia has served as an important crossroads of civilizations. The Nuragic civilization, which developed during the Bronze Age, left a remarkable legacy with around 8,000 nuraghi still visible across the island. Su Nuraxi di Barumini, the most famous of these sites, was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Beginning in the 9th century, Sardinia was divided into four independent kingdoms known as the Giudicati, which resisted attempted Muslim conquests with the support of the Maritime Republics of Pisa and Genoa. Later, with the establishment of the Kingdom of Sardinia by Pope Boniface VIII, a new historical era began that eventually led to the rule of the Habsburgs and the House of Savoy, continuing until the formation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
A Land Rich in Contrasts
Sardinia is a diverse island where each region offers distinctive and unforgettable experiences.
- Ogliastra: This area is renowned for its unspoiled landscapes and dramatic coastline, home to iconic beaches such as Cala Goloritzé and Cala Luna, true paradises for sea lovers and hiking enthusiasts alike.

Be sure to visit the archaeological site of Tiscali, a fascinating Nuragic settlement hidden high in the mountains.

Not just the sea: a journey through history, culture, and gastronomy in Sardinia
Sardinia offers much more than just a beach vacation. The island is a true treasure trove of historical and cultural landmarks that reveal the depth and richness of its heritage.
Nuraghi, Menhirs, Giants' Tombs, and Sacred Wells
Among the most remarkable sites are the Nuragic villages, including Su Nuraxi di Barumini, renowned for its extraordinary megalithic architecture. Other important nuraghi include Serra Orrios in Dorgali, notable for its size and excellent preservation, and Santu Antine in Torralba, which preserves traces of settlements from different historical periods. The Tombs of the Giants, such as the Li Lolghi Tomb in Arzachena and S'Ena 'e Thomes in Dorgali, offer a fascinating look into Nuragic funerary practices, with their impressive and well preserved stone structures. The sacred wells, including the well of Santa Cristina in Paulilatino, highlight the spiritual importance of water in Nuragic religion. The Pranu Muttedu area in Goni is known for its remarkable concentration of menhirs, linked to ancient ritual practices, while dolmens such as Sa Coveccada in Mores reflect even earlier, Neolithic burial traditions. The island’s history also reveals the presence of other civilizations: the remains of Phoenician settlements such as Monte Sirai in Carbonia and Sulci in Sant’Antioco show the influence of Mediterranean trade cultures. Later, Roman rule left its mark in sites like the amphitheater in Cagliari and Roman villas in Olbia and Porto Torres. Visiting these places means taking a journey through the centuries and discovering the deep historical and cultural soul of this fascinating island.
Gastronomy: a journey through the flavors of Sardinia
