The island's most enigmatic inhabitants were the Nuragic people, who dominated during the Bronze Age. <\/p>\n Their legacy lives on in the thousands of nuraghi, the characteristic conical-trunk-shaped towers, and in the elaborate tombs scattered across the island.<\/p>\n After this era, Sardinia fragmented into independent kingdoms called '';Judicates''', which successfully repelled a Muslim invasion in the 9th century.<\/p>\n The island then passed through various kingdoms, including the Kingdom of Aragon, the Austrian Habsburgs, and finally the House of Savoy.<\/p>\n In 1861, the Kingdom of Sardinia, under the leadership of the House of Savoy, played a fundamental role in the unification of Italy.<\/p> Looking for the best attractions and monuments in Sardinia?<\/p>\n Here is a short list of landmarks, designed for short stays and golfers, to make the most of your time and enjoy the local culture.<\/p>\n Cagliari: <\/strong>Bastione di Saint Remy, Cathedral of Saint Cecilia, Sanctuary and Basilica of Bonaria, Devil's Saddle and city centre.<\/p>\n Alghero: <\/strong>Palmavera Nuragic Village, town centre, Cathedral of Santa Maria, Anghelu Ruju Necropolis and Torre di Porta Terra.<\/p>\n Villasimius: <\/strong>Giunco or Notteri Beach, Porto Giunco Tower, Old Fortress, Via del Mare, and Cavoli Island Lighthouse.<\/p> Sardinia, as one might imagine, is rich in culinary and wine traditions.<\/p>\n Here are our top tips for our beloved golfers and travellers:<\/p> Culurgiones <\/strong>Typical Sardinian filled pasta, 4-10 cm in length and 3-5 cm in width. The dough is made from semolina flour, white flour, eggs, water, and salt, which gives the ravioli a soft crust.<\/p>\n Su Porcheddu: <\/strong>Better known as roast suckling pig, it is usually cooked on a spit for up to five hours. The result is a delicious and crispy piece of meat, often served for special occasions.<\/p>\n Malloreddus <\/strong>Malloreddus, also known as Gnocchetti Sardi, are a typical pasta shape from the island of Sardinia, made with durum wheat semolina flour and water. This soft and tasty pasta holds sauces and flavours like no other and is an excellent choice for creamy first courses.<\/p>\n Cannonau <\/strong>Arguably the region's most iconic wine, Cannonau is characterised by a typical and peculiar richness of flavour and aroma, with good structure and notes of flowers and fruit. It pairs excellently with meat dishes and savoury recipes.<\/p>\n Carignano <\/strong>Another typical red wine, with a ruby red colour and a flavour on the palate that ranges from fruity to herbaceous, and it is warm and persistent. An excellent pairing with meat dishes.<\/p>\n Myrtle <\/strong>Often labelled as the regional drink, Mirto (or Myrtle) is the symbolic liqueur of Sardinia. With a strong and full-bodied flavour, Mirto will surprise you after a meal or on any occasion.<\/p> Are you wondering what are the best activities \u2013 besides golf \u2013 and excursions you can do in Sardinia?<\/p>\n Here is our top 3:<\/p>\n Sailing excursion from PALAU to the Maddalena Archipelago: <\/strong>Discover some of the most iconic coastal landscapes of La Maddalena on this full-day, small-group sailing tour of the famous Sardinian archipelago.
