The Best of Sardinia
Wonderful hikes, good hotels and a touch of local cuisine are the ingredients you’ll find here
The
east Coast of Sardinia and
its inland are one of the last sanctuaries of wilderness in the whole Mediterranean Sea. South of
Orosei the road abandons the
shoreline to rejoin it some 70 kilometers
further. Driving south after
Dorgali the road climbs up to the 1000 m
Genna Silana Pass from where one can see
the land becoming more and more severe, corrugated and deserted, no
more villages,
no more tourist resorts.
Westward the impressive cliffs of Monte Oddeu sign the border of
Supramonte,
the highland home for shepherds, wild fauna, rocks and caves not to say
about
bandits. The gigantic and impressive cut in the rock of "Su
Gorropu" sided by 600 m
pillars of pure limestone and the more gentle "Scala ‘e
Surtana" give
access to this magic land.
On the other side the "codule" - deep and winding valleys and canyons
- run towards the sea. White dazzling rocks rise from the deep green of
oak
forests and mediterranean bush. Mufflons, wild and domestic goats,
birds of
prey, vultures, swifts, seagulls, cormorans and even eagles can be seen
around.
The coast reveals impressive cliffs diving in the blue waters and coves
that
are among the most beautiful in the Mediterranean
Sea.
The main spots of the coast and the inland are included in the program
that can
be divided in two parts: the first one on the coast is based in S.
Maria di
Navarrese, the second in Oliena on the edge of Supramonte.
