The small harbor, with its colorful houses and charming little restaurants, whose inviting aromas fill the air, gives the town of Sant'Antioco its characteristic maritime atmosphere. This famous town of the Sulcis archipelago, with 11,000 inhabitants and tens of thousands of visitors in the summer, is the most important town on the largest island of Sardinia, to which it is connected by an artificial strip of land probably created by the Phoenicians and improved by the Romans. The main sources of income are fishing, salt production, and agriculture, as documented by the Su Magasinu de su binu folklore museum.

Lots of information and amazing finds from an ancient culture. You have to be interested, though.

There are many interpretations of the name. Some trace its origin to the Campidanese-Sardinian contraction of Cala de Seda, or Cal'e Seda, or also Cala Seda, or Cal'e Sera, or "silk cove". In fact, in the Campidanese-Sardinian language, seda or sera means "silk", because the sea of the Sulcis archipelago was apparently rich in particular mollusks from which "sea silk" was obtained, that is, a type of "natural sea silk" obtained from the threads secreted by a species of marine bivalve mollusk endemic to the Mediterranean (Pinna nobilis), commonly known as "castanets" or "feather mice" (Pinnae margaritiferae). The threads obtained from their interior were used for weaving byssus.

Small sandy beach, unfortunately directly on the road and with a bar

This is the most beautiful stretch of the cycle path that connects Tratalias and the island of Sant'Antioco. Here you cycle through the Santa Caterina pond, on a very narrow strip of sand surrounded by the sea. A unique cycle path!

Calasetta is a charming fishing village with a very interesting history. The town was founded by a group of families of tuna fishermen originally from Tunisia; then came the Piedmontese settlers (of which the tower is evidence) and finally the Sicilians arrived. The narrow streets between the low pastel-colored houses against the backdrop of the blue sea remind us that we are in the heart of the Mediterranean.

Panoramic Point on Portixeddu, be careful, the cliff ends directly at the sea, to be done on foot
