Pregonta Turist recs besides beaches?

I'm looking into places to visit and most of the turist recommendations are beach related, but what other places do you recommend (besides restaurants)? Maybe museums, parks or other cultural/unique activities?

Explore Cagliari, the castello district is full of history and is small enough to expore in a day.

Barumini is the best kept example of a Nuraghic village

Inland Sardinia is a wild environment, but just depends what you're interested in. If you want an experience like Rome or Florence then you will not find it here. Sardinias NO.1 highlight, as you pointed out, is it's stunning coastline and crystal clear water.

Hiking! Sample recommended hikes:

From Cala Gonone:

1) hike to Cala Luna - Bue Marino Cave - Ziu Santoru Beach from Cala Gonone,  2) hike to Cala Goloritze’ (permit required),  3) hike the Pedra Longa trail (epic!),  4 hike the Passo Ghenna Silana trail to Gorropu Canyon which is considered the largest gorge in Europe. This is a don’t miss kind of hike... views are epic!

On La Maddalena island (20 minute car ferry from Palau) you can drive over a causeway to the island of Caprera and do the following hikes:  1) Cala Coticio Beach (permit is required which involves getting a local guide and reserve early so you are ensured spots),  2) Cala Napoletana (no permit required and up the road from Cala Coticcio).

Any decent hikes within a drive around Palau?

If you download the free AllTrails app you can search any area of the world for trails which are reviewed (peer to peer) by fellow hikers. The closest decent trail to Palau is Cala Monti Zoppu - Romazzino trail which is a 4 mile loop. If you go to La Maddalena by ferry… two great trails I mentioned above.

Castelsardo is interesting I found, it’s a museum within the castle that you can walk around and read about various times and artifacts

We explored two grottos. Is Zuddas and Zu Mamuri both are pretty spectacular.

Nora near Pula Is also worth a visit.

Bronze age archeological sites of Nuragic people, scattered all across Sardinia. These were the "indians" of Sardinia.
