The most famous ghost town in Sardinia: abandoned after devastating floods in November 1951, it preserves evocative stone alleys, roofless houses, and timeworn facades overlooking the breathtaking Pardu Valley. An unmissable destination for enthusiasts of history, photography, and authentic off-season slow travel.
The beach of the coastal hamlet of Gairo Sant'Elena is a quiet, uncrowded stretch of sand, ideal for those seeking the sea of Ogliastra away from the crowds. The water is clean and crystal-clear, with gently shelving sandy beds. Nearby are the thermal springs of Santa Maria, making a unique experience possible: swimming in the sea and then bathing in the naturally warm waters just a short distance away.
A hidden cove among the rocks of the Gairo coastline, reached by a short walk along the coastal path. It offers turquoise waters of great purity and an unspoilt landscape typical of the Ogliastran coast. Its small size makes it ideal for small groups who want to enjoy the sea in absolute peace, far from facilities but rewarded with an authenticity that is hard to find elsewhere.
