Cliffs of Calasetta

Highlight • Natural

The path is along the cliff, the view is fantastic and you ride accompanied by the scent of the sea. Obviously it is necessary to pay attention to the exposed sections as there are no barriers to protect in the event of a fall. If you are really uncertain at some point .. get off!

Calasetta Historic Center

Highlight • Settlement

There are many interpretations of the name. Some trace its origin to the Campidanese-Sardinian contraction of Cala de Seda, or Cal'e Seda, or also Cala Seda, or Cal'e Sera, or "silk cove". In fact, in the Campidanese-Sardinian language, seda or sera means "silk", because the sea of the Sulcis archipelago was apparently rich in particular mollusks from which "sea silk" was obtained, that is, a type of "natural sea silk" obtained from the threads secreted by a species of marine bivalve mollusk endemic to the Mediterranean (Pinna nobilis), commonly known as "castanets" or "feather mice" (Pinnae margaritiferae). The threads obtained from their interior were used for weaving byssus.

The Mediterranean scrub

Highlight • Forest

On Sant'Antioco and the neighboring island of San Pietro, Tabarquin (Italian Tabarchino), a dialect that goes back to the Genoese, is still spoken today. The Tabarquin dialect and culture is now under the special protection of the autonomous region of Sardinia and is taught in schools in the two municipalities of Calasetta (located opposite San Pietro) and Carloforte. However, in the center of Sant'Antioco the Campidan Sardinian language is spoken.
