Torre dei Corsari

"Torre dei Corsari", not a random name, reminds us of the Algeria and Tunisia's troops (but called "buccaneers" by the locals) who, for 600-700 years, would land in the middle of the night with their swords with the sole purpose of looting, destroying and raping the village's women. As an ancient local saying goes: “Furada chie benidi ’e mari”, who comes from the sea steals! Here is explained the ancestral Sardinian aversion for the sea, from which they always kept far from. Of the buccaneers today, the only the memory left are the medieval watchtowers.

"Buccaneers' Tower" is a must-see !!
A beautiful oasis, a paradise on earth. Hard to describe, its variegated landscape and its wild beauty make this location unique; a piece of Australia or Sahara in the mini desert one can found between “Punta S’Aschivoni” and “Torre di Flumentorgiu”, "Is Arenas" the sands, in Sardinian. At the back of a landscape that ignores the passing of time: along with Euforbie, Mirti, Rosmarini, a brethless landscape is revealed. A symphony of dunes that overlap and chase one another up to the sea. A sea of surreal transparency. A magic land, where the water green topaz fades into turquoise and cobalt, while the refreshing breeze gently mixes the briny airs with the scent of the Mediterranean maquis, rich all around, that in the spring becomes a prism of colors. The dunes, closed around Capo Frasca, are carpeted of purple, blue, yellow, rose and scarlet flowers; a painting so big that no museum would be able to frame it.

Torre dei Corsari is welcoming with its untouched coasts, the large beach settled on top of a magnificent sea. The sun, a golden beach, a light breeze, the sea and a lot of space are alone a warranty for a pleasant vacation, even for the younger ones. It is also a very romantic place; it is easy to think about the spectacular cliffs that split in a variety of fjords, where the sea bobs in and out, and that turn a rose color at sunset.
A landscape filled of charm that makes it one the most beautiful location in Sardinia. The crystal-clear water, the white sand, the fresh night's breeze, leave one with the memory of a vacation where a generous smile was the answer to a question that was never asked: "How are you?”

Also, who is looking for quite and privacy will be rewarded. It's easy to find privacy among the hills, by the refreshing shadows of millenary juniper trees, or by hidden coves facing absolute transparent waters.
It's nice sitting in the evenings by the shore, a relaxing scene, to listen to the silence; immersed in the pleasant fragrance carried by the light breeze; admiring the sun diving into the sea setting on fire the sky.
The pleasurable experience of a long summer that ends in November. Torre dei Corsari is the perfect vacation!

The Torre dei Corsari is located on the Costa Verde (Green Coast), a territory that offers a lot even for the ones who decide to take a break from the beaches. A few kilometers away, naturalistic and archeological sites reserve many surprises.
"Marina di Arbus", rewarded by the political environmentalist party Legambiente for 3 years in a row, is characteristically composed of a number of different landscapes that go back to the Paleozoic era, very rich of minerals and a number of archeological areas.
