Situated on the central east coast of Sardinia, between the Gulf of Orosei in the north and the Costa Rei in the south, the Ogliastra is still a largely unknown holiday destination in Sardinia and less developed for tourism than other well-known seaside resorts, although this province has a lot to offer: Breathtaking table mountains around Jerzu, a fascinating cave near Ulassai, very good wines and, of course, kilometres of often fine sandy beaches (see our tips for the best beaches in Ogliastra), which are rarely overcrowded even in high season. In short, not only beach lovers, but also hikers, climbers and wine connoisseurs on active holidays and pleasure trips will get their money’s worth.
