Scogli Rossi, Red reef near Arbatax port, Italy.
Red porphyry formations emerge from the Mediterranean Sea, creating a natural contrast with the transparent waters of the eastern Sardinian coast.
The reef stands near Arbatax port, established in the 16th century as a strategic point for maritime trade in eastern Sardinia.
The red rocks stand as a symbol of the Ogliastra region, featured in numerous local artistic works and photography collections.
The site provides free access throughout the year and can be reached via a pedestrian path from the Arbatax port area.
The distinct red color of the rocks comes from iron oxide in the porphyry, creating intense reflections during sunset hours.
