Cala di l'Ea-Cala Grande, Coastal hiking trail in Santa Teresa Gallura, Sardinia, Italy.
This coastal trail leads through steep cliffs reaching 500 meters in height that plunge dramatically into crystal-clear waters, creating impressive rocky formations accessible only through challenging hiking paths or boat excursions.
The area served as a refuge and fishing point for local fishermen who used the hidden coves and caves along the coast as shelter, with traces of ancient fishing settlements still visible today.
Local maritime culture includes traditional fishing techniques passed down through generations, with summer festivals celebrating fresh seafood dishes that strengthen community bonds between residents and visitors.
The 5-kilometer trail requires approximately two hours of hiking and is recommended only for people with good physical preparation, as the path lacks easily accessible sections.
Local divers have discovered underwater caves and archaeological artifacts during explorations, suggesting possible prehistoric settlements from ancient civilizations now lost to time.
