テルテニーアのおすすめライド

A few steps from the coastal jewels of Gairo Sant'Elena and the Cardedu marina, heading towards the eastern slope of Monte Ferru, the highest coastal peak in Sardinia, you'll find yourself in the midst of a natural spectacle. From the source at Su Accu 'e s'Axina, crystalline waters flow downstream, creating a succession of waterfalls, several meters high, and finally settling in red porphyry pools of varying width and depth. Their name is the Monte Ferru pools, but they are also known as the Coccorrocci natural pools. The scenery is enchanting. The pools appear before you at the end of a tangle of holm oaks, junipers, and oleanders. The pure, clear, and refreshing waters are ideal for a rejuvenating swim, especially during the summer heat: you won't be able to help but feel lulled by the sweet sound of the waterfalls.

It is located near the beach of the same name, in the Marina di Gairo nature reserve. The magical setting, with the Ogliastra mountains towering over the structure and the unique beaches of Sardinia's eastern coast, will offer you an exclusive holiday immersed in pristine nature.

Su Sirboni Beach is located in Marina di Gairo, in eastern Sardinia (Ogliastra), near Cardedu. It has fine, white sand, surrounded by red rocks.

Built after the 1951 flood, the inhabitants abandoned old Gairo.

The historic center of the town (which today is called "Gairo Vecchio") was half destroyed by a flood in 1951, and was subsequently completely abandoned, to rebuild new houses a little higher up than the half-destroyed village and on the coast, the latter then forming over the years the town of Cardedu.

Old Gairo was abandoned after the 1951 flood; its residents rebuilt the village a little further up. It's certainly evocative, being right on the road from Gairo to Jerzu, and seeing it abandoned brings a touch of melancholy to those passing by.
