CALA SINZIAS .. at the southeast coast of Sardinia in Italy

From CAGLIARI, the capital of Sardinia, you can drive for only 3,50€ by bus to Villasimius, a tourism center on the southeast coast of Sardinia, and from there you can drive by bus to the CALA SINZIAS, that is 7km north of Villasimius.

CALA SINZIAS is well known among the native Sardinians, because of its one Mile long sandy-beach and the beautiful bay. A few miles further north on the east-coast is the some miles long sandy beach of COSTA REI, although the small CALA SINZIAS is much nicer.

See the two videos: the CALA SINZIAS in autumn in the middle of October 2011. The temperatures are still about 20 degrees and at night it is not cold. The season of tourism is already over in Sardinia and the CALA SINZIAS is deserted by the tourists. The bar in the beach-hut is closed till next summer, and for a tramper like me it is shady and airy under the canopy.

Sardinia has about 200 sandy beaches and most are very clean, even here the CALA SINZIAS. Everywhere here you meet tourists, who are travelling on Sardinias roads with their campers and also are travelling on the nearby island CORSIKA. They see that Sardinia has more beautiful beaches than CORSICA. Beautiful sandy beaches are also in CORSICA, especially in the southeast of this island, but the mountains of Corsica are much nicer than the mountains of Sardinia.

If you travel by bus 50 to 60 miles further north along the east coast of Sardinia to TORTOLI, and at TORTOLI a few miles further north to the mountains, you reach a small town called BRAUNEI. From some distance this BRAUNEI looks like built into the mountain: here you see the beautiful mountainous scenery of Sardinia. And from BRAUNEI you can look down to TORTOLI and at the coast: from here you get also a great view of the eastcoast of Sardinia!
