Last summer I had the chance to spend a beautiful day at “The Cyclops” swimming pool. It is set in an ancient volcanic crater and it is of seawater; there is also a small swimming pool for younger guests (for more information please visit http://www.iciclopi.net/servizi.php).

The pool is amazing and the view from there is breathtaking: it is located directly on the sea, on Cala Sapone side.

It is equipped with umbrellas, sun beds and there is an open kiosk from 9 to 19, where it is possible to have lunch or have an ice cream. We had lunch there and we ate a good hamburger and an ice cream.

There is direct access to the sea through ladders. Walking through the rocks you can easily reach Cala Grotta, one of Sant’Antioco’s beautiful hidden coves.

It is a great alternative to a day at the sea. It is open to public every day but not in high season because it is fully dedicated to the Cyclops’ guests (don’t try to go there in August!). It is worth a try!

I love Sant'Antioco island and its people. 8 Years ago we decided to buy our Place in this little paradise island and had the chance to experience it all: its colours, flavours, wild nature, beautiful beaches, romans and fenicians ruins, local religious rituals, The food, the wine, the kindness of its inhabitants and even their contradictions. I loved it when we were just a young married couple because of its variety of beaches to visit and its hidden coves to discover. It is also a great base if You want to explore South Sardinia (carloforte, calasetta, porto Pino, teulada, chia, buggerru, nebida, masua....just to name few must see). I appreciate it even more now that i have a 3 Years old daughter: it even offers very convenient beautiful equipped beaches. This blog, Visit Sant'Antioco, is a way for me to share the experiences and the emotions i Felt on this beautiful island somehow still not very common on touristic routes. I hope you enjoy it.
