Cala del Ciò
Cala del Ciò is a small, sheltered bay off the island of San Pietro, tucked into the rugged coastline that defines this corner of southwestern Sardinia. The waters here are remarkably clear, with the rocky shoreline typical of the Sulcis Iglesiente area giving way to calm, swimmable depths. You're close enough to the town of Carloforte to enjoy its distinct Ligurian-Sardinian culture — a legacy of 18th-century Genoese settlers — without losing that sense of quiet seclusion the cove naturally offers.
