Region description
Sant’Antioco – island charm and gorgeous bays off the southern coast of Sardinia
Sant’Antioco is an offshore island near Carbonia-Igelesias on the south-west tip of Sardinia. With its rugged, rocky coast, the inviting waters of its beautiful bays and a pretty town, it’s always worth a visit. It’s also a great starting point to explore the west coast of Sardinia. The island itself is guaranteed to surprise explorers and bathers with its unusual rock formations and unique beach atmosphere – in Arco dei Baci, for instance, where the forces of nature have used their formidable powers to shape an amazing natural pool in the cliffs.In addition to the pretty capital of Sant’Antioco (approx. 11,000 inhabitants), the fishing village of Calasetta and two small tourist resorts are at home on the island. Isola di Sant’Antioco is linked to Sardinia via a dam and is therefore easy to reach.
