Terrain, waters and landscape
Desert
The Piscinas Dunes are a rare ecosystem where winds have accumulated golden sand into massive coastal hills along South Sardinia. Surrounded by sea daffodils and wild olive trees, the area serves as a key nesting environment for sea turtles. To view how these desert-like formations meet the sea, consult the Map. It is regarded as one of the most remarkable geomorphological coastal zones in Italy.
