Cala Coticcio, Caprera

Sardinia

Cala Coticcio on the island of Caprera (connected to La Maddalena archipelago) is locally called 'Tahiti' for its extraordinary colour — two granite coves of translucent water reachable only by a 45-minute walk through the Caprera National Park. The La Maddalena archipelago has the clearest water in the Mediterranean. Garibaldi's house is on Caprera — he is buried there.
