Costa di Capoterra, Sardinia
Sardinia
The coast south of Cagliari at Capoterra is a protected area of granite headlands and crystal coves where the Mediterranean monk seal is occasionally sighted. Twenty minutes from Sardinia's capital, this stretch feels completely wild — juniper-scented maquis, pink granite and sea the colour of malachite.
