Ogliastra, a fairly recent discovery
with its beautiful coasts and mountainous interior. Its territory,
wedged between sea and mountain, offers a vast array of unique
landscapes.
A paradise of remarkable beauty situated along the eastern side of
Sardinia, where nature is at its best. Some people think that the
name Ogliastra derives from the wild olive trees growing in great
numbers in the region, but more credited sources link it to the
Agugliastra, a huge monolith overlooking the sea.
The Ogliastra coasts are splendid oases set between sea and rock,
rugged nature to dazzle us with some of the most fascinating marine
landscapes of the Mediterranean. Leaving from the north we encounter
the renowned coves of Cala Luna, Cala Sisine, Cala Mariolu and Cala
Goloritzé, accessible only by boat or on foot; further south there
are the beautiful beaches of Tancau, Girasole, Orrě, Cea ,Barisardo,
Cardedu, Coccorrocci and the gulf of Sarrala.
Enchanting, too is the landscape that climbs up the hills as far as
the Gennargentu mountains, indulging the eyes with scenarios of rare
beauty. Ogliastra is a land that must be relished slowly, it
deserves more than just the hurried glance of conventional tourism.
The entire territory is scattered with archaeological monuments,
well-worth visiting:Nuraghi, Domus de Janas, Fonti Sacre, Tombe dei
Giganti and Menhir.
