Costa Rei

Muravera (CA) - Italy

                                                                                                                                     

Costa Rei is a tourist hamlet of spontaneous aggregation and is of recent development (around the sixties) placed near an unbelievably long stretch of sandy shoreline about eight kilometres long.

 

The beaches belonging to this hamlet are, going from south to north, Scoglio di Peppino, Costa Rei, Piscina Rei and Capo Ferrato.

 

The first one is shared with the municipality of Castiadas, all the others belong to the territory of Muravera.

 

This coast road has become famous thanks to an unbelievably fine white sandy beach other than for its emerald green sea.

 

In the wide territory of Muravera and Castiadas, Costa Rei is for sure the most famous resort thanks to its beaches and colourful little bays with soft white sand, behind which widens the green and fresh Mediterranean maquis.

 

Muravera is a big village that dates back to the pre-Nuragic time. In the town, the San Nicola's parish church is decorated by Gothic-Aragonese elements.

 

In the surroundings, the Megalithic remains of Piscina Rei and the many Nuraghes, especially the Figu Niedda, Scalas and Sa Domu e S'Orcu are interesting.

 

Almost adjacent to the camping area and near to a dry stream-bed on the left, there is the megalithic area of Piscina Rei which has some 22 menhir.

 

This once sacred area is of priceless archaeological and historical value as it is the creation of the Pre-Nauragic epoch and was used until the Roman times.

 

Between Costa Rei and the pond of Santa Giusta, there is Monte Nai where the remains of a Carthaginian fortress (VI-V century B.C.) have been discovered.

 

Not far from here, there are the nauraghe Scalas and the one named Cuili Piras (Monte Crobu) where you can admire two Megalithic areas holding 43 and 50 menhir.
