Punta Giglio, Porto Conte
Sardinia
A track from the park edge climbs through juniper and wild olive onto the flat top of Punta Giglio, where the concrete galleries of a 1940s coastal battery look across the bay to Capo Caccia. Cliff paths and a via ferrata drop toward the water; griffon vultures ride the updraughts.
