| Its
name may derive from the wild olive trees this territory is dominated
by, however some think it could be related to the huge needle called
“Agugliastra” (Sa Perda Longa, Tall
Rock) which rises on the coast of Santa
Maria Navarrese. |

Situated
in the east-central part of Sardinia, Ogliastra is a most spectacular
corner of Sardinia, a natural amphitheatre that from the Gennargentu
Mountain falls to a sea of unequalled clear water. Its 100 kilometres
coast is a unique, enchanting display of cobalt blue and
intense emerald green colours. Here is where the natural
beauty of Sardinia outshines itself , alternating long, wide beaches
(Cala Moresca, Porto Frailis, Lido di Cea, Lido di Tortolì)
with lovely little bays (Cala
Mariolu, Cala
Luna, Cala
Biriola, Cala
Sisine, Cala Golorotzé)
and majestic cliffs overlooking a crystal-clear sea. You could also
dive in the clear waters to admire the fantastic soundings of the
ogliastra coast and visit the relicts located in the area. We recommend
you dive escorted by the expert instructors of the diving center
of the S. Maria Navarrese Nautica, that you can contact at the 0782
615522. |

However
Ogliastra is not only beaches: quite the opposite, the countless
wide-ranging itineraries for hiking, cycling, off-roading,
trips by car or motorbike, in search of ancient Nuraghs,
Domus de Janas and Tombe dei Giganti, make it the ideal
place for nature lovers. |

Another interesting fact about Ogliastra is that is has the highest number of people over a hundred years old in Sardinia: an extraordinary record, considering that the Island already has a high concentration of centenarians compared to the rest of the world. Most curiously, the worldwide ratio between male and female centenarians is 1 man every 7/8 women, whereas in Sardinia it goes down to a reassuring 1 to 2, or even 1 to 1 in some areas. Environmental factors or genetic features? If in doubt, it might be a god idea to spend your next holidays in this place savouring the irresistible culurgiones and porchetto washed down with a healthy glass of good wine: that can only do you good, or at least pep you up! |
