Things to do in Elmas Airport
Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia, an island with some of the Mediterranean's most pristine beaches and an ancient culture stretching back to the Bronze Age Nuragic civilization. The Castello hilltop quarter, the National Archaeological Museum (outstanding Nuragic bronze figurines), and the Amphitheatre of Cagliari are the historic center highlights. The flamingo lagoons of the Molentargius Saline Nature Reserve are visible from the city center — Sardinia hosts the largest flamingo population in Europe. The white beaches of Chia and Villasimius are 45–60 minutes away.
