The south route

Leaving Capo Galera you move to Bosa, following initially a quite linear costline up to Capo Marargiu.
Here you can have very fascinating dives up to 40 meters deep by shallows offshores. At the mouth of the river Temo, the only navigable river in Sardinia, we can admire the charming village of Bosa, dominated by a hill on which stand the ruins of an austere castle built around 1100 by the Marquis Malaspina. Further south we will reach some Rocky towers emerging from the sea called Corona Niedda where you can have some interesting diving.

Then the famous Puntillone, a submerged rock monolith. In a few hours of navigation we will arrive to the island of Mal di Ventre, a wonderful naturalistic park, inhabited by turtles and migratory birds.
Ones anchored in the “Cala dei Pastori”, it seems to be in an Maldive’s atoll, with fine sandbeaches and crystal water.

We will experience extraordinary dives in unpolluted bottoms, around the island. Passed the Gulf of Oristano we reach Capo Frasca and Torre dei Corsari where we can admire the majestic sand dunes on the beach Pistis.

We reached the Costa Verde, desolate and wild, and we will arrive to Buggerru, a mining settlement of the last century, where a rocky wall overlooks the sea. 
Then a high reef in the middle of the sea, this is Pan di Zucchero, anohter suitable place for our dives. We are getting close to the islands of San Pietro and Sant’Antioco, where Phoenician settlements are still visible.

In the fishermen village of Carloforte the spoken language is still the Ligurian dialect, due to the establishment of the Genovesi in the 19th cetury. The tradional Tonnara which takes place every year and the production of bottarga are typical of this area.

Some shallows around the two islands offer unique and fascinating dives.
