We begin the journey that will lead us through the beautiful beaches of the most beautiful of all the south coast of Sardinia from the east. They meet once small creeks that unite the island with the mainland of "Su Cardolinu" also known as "Isula Manna. This part of the bay is only accessible on foot, but it is a pleasant five minute walk can begin at the foot of the headland of the Tower of Chia. On the islet of cardolinu is also best known to historians for the archaeological excavations that have unearthed the remains of the ancient Phoenician-Punic Bithia with its characteristic Tophets. Some of the artifacts found there are also available at the Archaeological Museum of Domus de Maria in Chia is a part. Continuing west, you come to the cove known as "The Harbor" with the typical half-moon shape and deep waters immediately.
The beach of The Marina is situated at the foot of the promontory on which it is situated the famous Tower of Chia. The view and the view that this promontory offers is truly impressive. To the right of the tower along the shoreline of the beach of "Sa Cologne." Knows the west end of Cologne is the headland known as the "Monte Cogoni. Behind the beach is the pond with the pond that Chia Spartivento (located slightly to the west) are the peaceful home of flamingoes.
Continuing westward, pass the Monte Cogoni we encounter the "Cove of the Dead", a beach whose name really does not make them justice. Even this Cala is only reachable on foot. Another five-minute walk down a path decorated with vegetation typical of the Mediterranean, starting from the parking lot behind the beach of "Porto Campana.
That beach is characterized instead for its dunes that are the prelude to the dunes of the beach the next and that makes the famous bay.
In short we arrived at the beach "On Giudeu" (also known as "S'Abba durch") that takes its name from the small island that lies ahead. Golden sand and very fine.
Finally, the last leg of the journey to the beaches of Chia. The famous "Cala Cipolla", with its juniper are comfortable shelter from the scorching summer sun for those who want to spend a whole day to admire the crystal clear sea that bathes.
