Along the coastal road near Marina di Gairo, a panoramic stretch opens up that offers a superb view of the bay. From here, the crystalline sea extends as far as the eye can see, framed by the wild cliffs and the intense colors of the Mediterranean scrub. It is a perfect place to stop and admire the contrast between the blue of the water and the green of the hills, which together create an unforgettable scene of this pristine coast.
