A holiday in Sardinia, at Alghero with “the Coral Riviera”, is fascinating and extraordinary in many ways. In fact, a period of relaxation in this area is enriched by cultural cues of considerable interest. In a part of the territory, which is not so big, stunning historical and archeological finds dating back to the Prenuragic and Nuragic ages are kept.
The Necropolis of Anghelu Ruju is the largest Prenuragic area in Sardinia. It was discovered by chance in 1903, during the excavations for the building of a farmhouse. The finding of some human bones encouraged further excavations, until crockery, jewels and several hypogean graves were discovered. Over the years, a total of 38 Domus de Janas (Home of the Fairies) were discovered,

The Palmavera nuraghe

along with underground graves dating back to three different historic periods: the civilization of Ozieri (3500 B.C.), of the bell-shaped vase (2000-1900 B.C.), and of Bonnanaro (1800 B.C.).
Don’t miss, nearby, the magnificent Nuragic complex of Palmavera. The main keep dates back to the Fifteenth-Fourteenth century B.C., and can be still visited in all its parts; including the large central room with a tholos cupola.

The Italia Diving Tour is a nice project for scuba divers and launched through Parks.it, the Italian institutional website dedicated to natural parks and marine protected areas in Italy.
At the moment –but the number is steadily growing- there are 212 dive sites along the Italian coast which can be explored and known with this initiative.
The aim is to attract divers in the national parks and protected areas: unique opportunities to see breathtaking panoramas and the important results that the protection of the ecosystem has produced in many natural areas. Such as the Park of Porto Conte and the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia-Isola Piana.
Joining Italia Diving Tour is easy! Through one of the welcoming pages of diving is possible to book diving: the procedure doesn’t require any payments or commitments by credit card. The reservation is transmitted instantly via SMS and email.
Once you make the dive, the diving center will release the stamp Italian Diving Tour and the coupon where to attach it. 10 stamps are enough to receive the prestigious sweatshirt of the Italia Diving Tour!

But what awaits you in Capo Caccia? Certainly.., not just diving. But an earthly paradise above and under the sea that allows to experience nature at 360-degree. From diving to snorkeling, hiking tour to food&culture tour, until wonderful r.i.b. trips, one of the best way to reach the majestic cliffs that are Unesco heritage.
The Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia-Isola Piana was created in 2002 with the aim of protecting the natural and faunal heritage, which is unique in the world. Here, in fact, there is the highest concentration of underwater caves in the Mediterranean sea, which were a privileged refuge for monk seals until a few decades ago. Stunning and scenic ravines, rich in underwater flora and fauna, can easily be visited by groups of divers. Click here for some more information…
