Short History of Sardinia 

Golf vacations in Sardinia give you the chance to travel between different golf courses and see for yourself most of the unique cultural heritage of the land. Since prehistoric times, the island has already been inhabited then followed by different tribes from the neighboring Europe, Asia Minor, and Africa. One of these tribes was the Nuraghic popular for their unusual circular towers made from stone that dot the whole island. In fact, during your tour in Sardinia, you will spot Nuraghi signposts anywhere you go. 

The inhabitants of the island opted for the hills’ safety in contrast to the more exposed coastline. The islanders were then subdued by the Phoenicians, followed by Carthiginians, and finally, the Romans became in control. Remnants of the different civilizations are found all over the land, and up to this day, there are numerous Roman restorations and excavations being done. 

Around 450 AD, the Vandals have invaded Sardinia. The Arabs soon followed, as well as the Spanish, French, and Italians. And somewhere in between these invasions, Austria even ruled the island for a while. 

Bits and pieces of these different civilizations remain evident across the towns and countryside of Sardinia. Spending a day or two to investigate the land and its people is definitely worthy to include to your golf vacations in Sardinia.
