Quietly in winter, Cardedu comes alive in summer, during the festival "Insieme a Cardedu", with a wide range of interesting events, from music and dance to theater and folklore for the delight of locals and tourists alike.

Sailing along the beautiful coast it is possible to admire some of the most beautiful bays of the Mediterranean: Cala Gonone, Cala Luna, Cala Goloritzè are now very famous destinations for tourism.

Incidentally, the entire Gulf of Orosei has been designated by the EU as a SIC (Site of Communitarian Importance), prizes awarded to sites characterized by the presence of important species of flora and fauna. One of the most famous and popular sites is the Grotta del Bue Marino (the cave of the sea cows), once a refuge for the seals, which today are in danger of extinction. The animal species are numerous and include vultures, birds of prey, mouflons and wild boars, mostly in the interior area.

Cardedu, on the coast of Ogliastra, in a natural park with a wealth of plateaus and plains, lakes and rivers, forests and shrubs and beautiful beaches. Founded immediately after a landslide that partially destroyed Gairo in 1951, the village, which was kept under Gairo's jurisdiction for some time, became its own municipality in 1984.

A sandy seabed with crystal clear water and a coast where dizzying bays suddenly seem to break through the long white stretches of sand and reefs, pebbles and red porphyry paint a beautiful landscape, variegated, rugged and untouched.

Cardedu is also a favorite beach resort for windsurfers due to the strong sirocco wind. The province is located on the east coast of the island and stretches from the peaks of the Gennargentu Mountains to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The capitals of Tortoli and Lanusei, the mountains and the white sandy beaches and rugged rocks that flow into the sea provide a beautiful environment where various walking and cycling routes are located to explore the area.

The coastline is ideal for all outdoor sports and wellness activities. Among them, canoe trips at sea are the most sought after. The privileged position of the canoeist and the absolute silence, interrupted only by the sound of the paddle strokes, will help you admire what the coastline has to offer.

Rare landscapes, unpolluted marine environments, one wonder after another immersed in the crystal clear waters. Where mountains rise from nowhere, where hidden bays offer an oasis of peace, where all peoples have had the power, where culture can still be found in caves, where tropical scenes occur, where the most famous artists and actors reside and where hundreds of flamingos come together, that is the place where the holiday feeling can be experienced. Sardinia is the pearl of Italy and Europe. It is also the largest island in the Mediterranean.

History of Sardinia: The prehistoric time of Sardinia is characterized by the typical structures in natural stone called Nuraghi . All over Sardinia there are no fewer than seven thousand such structures. It is still unknown to this day which tribe left these ancient structures behind.

Just like the rest of Europe, Sardinia also had to deal with the arrival of the Romans. The Romans took over all of Europe, but Sardinia was not nearly as popular. The hostile population and the many malaria mosquitoes that existed on the island made Sardinia disappear into the background. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Sardinia has been attacked many times. For example, the Spaniards, French and Balearic Islands between 700 and 800 AD. tried to attack Sardinia. Eventually the island came under the control of the Byzantine Empire.

In the tenth century the Byzantine empire declined seriously. In this century the Sardinian Knighthood began. In this, four large families came to power that eventually started working against each other. At the end of the thirteenth century, the families were all weakened and lost power. Pope Boniface assigned the island to the Spaniards. They survived many attacks and remained in power until 1708.
