Tourism & things to do ashore

The most unique place in Sardinia is Su Nuraxi, near the small town of Barumini. This is the largest Nuraghic site on the island. It has a very impressive stone fortress (circa 1200 BC), reconstructed and surrounded by the ruins of a sizable Nuraghic village.

Another notable site is Nora to the SW of Cagliari. Here in a lovely setting is a Nuraghic ruin (the Nuraghies were the oldest known inhabitants of Sardinia) and a Roman town with a darling little theater and two hot bath-houses. The site is quite large and right next to an old lighthouse.

The town of of Alghero which was built by the Arabs and was occupied for a long time by the Catalans. Its inhabitants are still speaking a Catalan dialect, is very picturesque.

In addition, there many lovely beaches and mountain passes.

Eateries

An outstanding restaurant (1996) serving Sardinian food (Sardi Tipico) is Su Cologone Restaurante. It is located about 60 km from Cagliari near the town of Nuoro. Their "menu tipico" is an amazing procession of dishes. To begin with there are the antipasti: Sardinian salami, prosciutto, a kind of kokoretsi (a shish-kebab made of entrails), hot cheese dumplings, funchi, sweet breads, and a very sharp soft sheep milk cheese spread accompanied with Sardinian bread (thin crusty pita). These are followed by the "primo piato" consisting of a colorful arrangement of ravioli with grated Sardinian cheese, macaroni, and a dish of some kind of an omelet. Then the "secundo piato" of a combination of roasted baby lamb and roasted baby pig accompanied with a potato dish. These were being roasted on spits at an enormous fireplace. Following the meat was a green salad with fennel.
