Discover an enchanting island
an unspoiled land
old as time
with a rich history
Learn a bit of Italian if you like.
Share your culture, language, and life experiences.
& in your free time -
explore the island
and discover a land
coveted at one time
or another
by Italians, Spanyards, Vandals,
Goths, Byzantines, Romans,
Etruscans, Carthaginians, Phoenicians,
Mycenaeans, Philistines, Shardana
Come hear the sing-song local "Campidanese" dialect
of the Sardinian language
- sister of Italian & Spanish
descended from Latin
Sample traditional dishes
malloreddus, maialino, and seadas
or the abundant "catch of the day" -
local species of bream (orata, dentice)
grouper (cernia) sea bass (spigola) or sole (sogliola)
and shellfish - Aragosta (lobster) gamberi (shrimp), granchi (crab),
arselle (clam), cozze (mussels)
Imbibe the local vitis vinifera varietals -
Cannonau (grenache), Monica, Carignano (Carignan),
Vermentino (Pigato, Favorita, Arratelau, Nasco) or Nuragus
as well as the after dinner "digestivi" liqueurs
Mirto nero. Mirto bianco, and arancino
or the local moonshines "Filu e' Ferru"
and "Acqua Vite" (“water of the grape”)
Experience one of the world's oldest
forms of polyphonic singing
which has enchanted the likes of
Frank Zappa and Peter Gabriel
Beyond beaches
explore mountainous forests
visit Chalcolithic megalithic Nuraghe,
which indigenous people were building here
around the same time ancient Egyptians and Celts
were piling up their own stone pyramids & henges
Pay a call on the Dolmens, necropoleis (city of the dead),
or the pre-Nuragic sculptures "Giants of Monte Prama"
from sometime around the 9th century BC
at the Museums in Cagliari & Cabras
Lose yourself in the woods
picking mushrooms, wild fennel,
wild asparagus,
mirto, capers, pomegranate
- depending on the season -
or hunt wild boar!
Hike, spelunk, climb,
trek, shepherd, bike,
walk, surf, swim, snorkel...
wander, walkabout, scooter, canoe, kayak
Dive on centuries of shipwrecks
just off the coast
or dive in off the rocks
Come sailing, surf, or go fly a kite...
Or, simply lay in the sun
relax
decompress
& chill...
Taking care of the family properties, gardening, landscaping, general light maintenance
No experience necessary!
In the spring of 2021 I planted 5 herb gardens, & a plant nursery at home, as an experiment. This coming winter i spring I need help getting these ready for next summer, and taking things to the next level!
