Things To Do in Sardinia (Cagliari)

Poetto Beach in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy.

Sink Into Soft Sand

One of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia, palm tree-lined Poetto gives you a chance to relax as you take in the views and a swim in the crystal waters. Small cafes and bars dot the beach — once you're all sunned out, sip a Sardinian mirto, an herbal liqueur, and mingle with the locals.

Local Cuisine

Sardinian cuisine is unique from that of Italy. Sample thin, crisp carasau bread and the distinctive saffron-spiced malloreddus gnocchi. Savor the Tyrrenhian's bountyin the form of Sardinian seafood stew — packed with flavorful clams, lobster and squid — and pasta alla trabaccolara, made with white fish, herbs and lots of garlic. And don't miss pabassinas, a small pastry dense with walnuts, almonds and raisins and spiced with orange zest and cinnamon.

Shopping

The crafts found in Sardinia reflect its unique culture. Craftspeople pass down techniques from generation to generation, from colorful embroidered silk to filigree gold and silver, hand-painted ceramics, and traditional wooden masks.
