ITALY. It can be reached from the country town in fourty minutes by car following the trunk road 195 for Teulada, the road signs will help you. The coasts are wet by a limpid sea with colours like intense azure or emerald green ,this made Chia one of the most famous seaside resort of Sardinia. The nature is still uncontaminated, it also alternates high and rocky promontories with low and sandy shores. To know its beauties....
The first islet that we meet is "Su Cardolinu",that is connected to the beach by a sand strip, it's famous because of archeological excavation that allowed to discover a Tophet (an altar) of ancient city Bithia. An other name of this islet is "Isula Manna". You can reach the beach of Isula Manna only if you go on foot ,take a look to the map! Go along the coast and you will find a small bay that is also knowed as "Il Porticciolo" ("old little seaport",because of the fishermen used to go there for their work many years ago).

The tower's
promontory gives a breathless panorama and separates "Il
Porticciolo" from another beautiful beach ..... ... named "Sa Colonia" that stretches for about 1 Km to its end called " Monte Cogoni".
In the middle of the beach,behind the strand, it's possible to visit some graves of the ancient Bithia. |
