Nature
The Sardinian natural ecosystem is well preserved and very colorful, because the island is well isolated from the rest of Italian regions and has a very ancient geologic history: it is the first land which emerged in the Mediterranean area.
Visitors will realize how the landscape suddenly changes even in a range of few kilometers. Sardinian mountains can be cliffs whose Mediterranean vegetation touches the water. Beautiful beaches and pink granite reefs, flatlands and mountains which delicately graze each other: this is Sardinia. During spring and winter the hills, located mainly in the Marmilla territory (which means breast-shaped), in the centre of Sardinia, remind us of Tuscany. The impressive mountainous gully-filled landscape and the famous Tacchi (which means “heels”) characterize the Ogliastra territory; the Giare of Siddi and Gesturi extend over 30 square km and host the wild ponies and many small lakes which are covered by white daisies during spring. The Supramonte highlands, the Gennargentu Massif, Campu Oddeu, the Falesie in Orosei, the Red Rocks in Arbatax are only some of the best-known sights.
Flora and fauna are well integrated in the region. There is a wide variety of unique animals and plants throughout the territory: the Mouflone, the only example of wild sheep in the European territory; the Sardinian deer; the Peregrine Falcon; the Monk Seal; the Giara\'s Pony; the white donkey of the Asinara Island; Audouin\'s Gull.In Sardinia there are no vipers, snakes or poisonous insects such as the scorpion.Sardinian flora is represented mainly by Mediterranean vegetation, which includes plants such as: Cistus; Lentisco; myrtle; strawberry tree; juniper tree; Oleaster.There are many holm-oak woods, oak woods, downy oak woods and many pinewoods imported from abroad.
The sand dunes characterize various beaches of Sardinia, making them seem like the African desert: Porto Pino, Sant’Anna Arresi; Torre dei Corsari, Arbus; Piscinas, Arbus.
