Starting at the Scala di Santa Regina, an old mule path that leads into the central Niolu valley, you will walk through scented pine forests with tumbling mountain torrents and waterfalls, clear natural rock pools with smooth granite formations. Once on the west coast, small mountain villages can be explored with bright bougainvillea, lemon and olive groves adding to their Mediterranean charm. Time can be spent at the end of your trip in the sleepy fishing villages of Porto or Piana where dramatic cliffs plummet into the calm waters below.
